When her father suddenly dies, a young girl is forced to live with her bitter aunt. She soon gets to know her new villagers and manages to change their lives with her infectious optimism. Only her aunt seems impervious to her charm.

Queen of Hollywood Mary Pickford plays the young orphan girl Pollyanna, one of her most iconic and emblematic roles, written by Frances Marion and based on the popular children's book by Eleanor H. Porter and the play of the same name. POLLYANNA is also the very first film that Pickford produced for United Artists, the film studio she co-founded with Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin and DW Griffith. The film quickly proved to be a gigantic economic success. An incredibly sweet, radiant film in which Pickford can fully demonstrate her talents, both as an actress and a producer. Suitable for young and old.
