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.
This film was a real nice feel good film. It brought a slight tear to my eye. I had to persuade my husband to watch it, as he thought it would be girly film, but he really enjoyed it aswell.
Amanda Burton, was brilliant as usual, and for Pollyanna, i could have taken her out of the screen and kept her at home for good!!
