the little girl who brings sunshine wherever she goes, 6 February 2005
6/10
Author: didi-5 from United Kingdom

This TV version of the popular novel by Eleanor H Porter comes to the screen with all the usual story lines intact. Directed by Sarah Harding and adapted by Simon Nye, it is more than a match for the classic film versions with Hayley Mills and Mary Pickford.

Pollyanna is sent to live with her aunt, played by Amanda Burton, in the country, where she finds most of the village have dark secrets which cause them unhappiness. The little girl is something of a close cousin to Jane Austen's Emma in her determination to bring happy endings and match-make couples. It takes a personal tragedy for everything to come together and for all the riddles to be solved.

A film with great charm, filmed well and enhanced by performances by the likes of Kenneth Cranham (the embittered Mr Pendleton), and Aden Gillett, the doctor. Pollyanna herself is played by newcomer Georgina Terry, and I hope we see more of her.
