Pollyanna Reviews
When you look for the bad in mankind expecting to find it, you surely will
"Pollyanna" is an underappreciated masterpiece. Everything was done right. It is one of those projects where you cannot fault anything, and the casting is impeccable. Most of all, this story is moving and has a beautiful, inspiring message.
Hayley Mills is given her first starring role, and undoubtedly makes "Pollyanna" everything that it is. Unlike other child stars, Mills is totally natural, and gives the impression of spontaneity, honesty and frankness that is refreshingly charming. She plays a little girl who comes to live with her aunt Polly in the town of Harrington after her parents have died, and ends up transforming the whole town into an appreciative, kinder, GLADDER community. Her trick? That magic she has of reminding everybody she meets how much there is of life to be thankful for.
This is not an overly sugary movie, as it might at first seem. It is a touching tribute to life and love, and a nostalgic depiction of the community atmosphere of a small town at the turn of the century. The movie is also a major tear-jerker, so be warned.
What I love most about "Pollyanna" is the way it shows a cross-section of people from the town of Harrington and the way their lives are brightened by the presence of a child. THANK YOU Disney for making one of the most memorable movies I have ever had the pleasure of viewing.
A Real Family Movie
Pollyanna is without a doubt one of the best family films I've seen. The story, cast, photography, costumes, etc. are all superb! Hayley Mills is a natural actress, whose talent wasn't used nearly enough following the success of this film. Jane Wyman is wonderful in this one, and a special salute to Agnes Morehead as the cantankerous old lady.
