Pollyanna

1920 · 57 min · US

Directed by Paul Powell

Paul Powell, United Artists, 1920, from Eleanor H. Porter and the stage play. Mary Pickford as the Glad Girl, sent to a sour aunt in a New England town and determined to play the glad game anyway. Silent, English titles, about sixty minutes in some cuts, longer in others. Released January. Pickford at twenty-seven playing eleven. Powell lets the town's meanness accumulate until the accident the novel needs. The smile is the work.
