    We should be glad that this film was made

    Excellent version of Eleanor H. Porter's story about a young girl who, after the recent death of her father, is left orphaned and goes to live with her cold hearted aunt. Pollyanna's relentlessly optimistic outlook is exemplified by the 'glad game' that she plays. No matter how bad the circumstance, she reasons, you can always find something to be glad about.

    Gradually, her aunt and the locals are won over by Pollyanna's warm nature. But, wouldn't you know it, tragedy is not far away.

    This version was originally shown n ITV1 and it makes for a wonderful piece of television. The excellent cast includes Amanda Burton, Kenneth Cranham, Tom Bell and Pam Ferris. Georgina Terry is charming in the title role.

    If you like a good story with laughter and tears along the way, add this to your list now.

    classic!

    What a wonderful film for girls. Every child should see this one, and grown kids too! Boys might find this a bit sickly sweet though.
