Pollyanna
Directed by Paul Powell
Produced by Mary Pickford Company
A heartwarming silent-era family drama about an orphan girl whose relentless optimism and emotional generosity transform a cold, isolated community.
When Pollyanna is orphaned, she's sent to live with her crotchety Aunt Polly. Pollyanna discovers that many of the people in her aunt's New England hometown are as ill-tempered as her aunt. But Pollyanna's incurable optimism - exemplified by her "glad game", in which she looks for the bright side of every situation - brings a change to the staid old community.
