I had seen this many years ago on the disney channel and remembered loving it. Just recently I saw Masterpiece Theater's rendition of Pollyanna and was instantly in love. Having watched M.T's rendition, I then wanted to see that old disney classic I remember loving so much. HAving just watched the disney version, I can't make up my mind which I love more, the PBS version or Disney's. They each have their good points. Haylee Mills is MUCH more adorable. I mean, come on, who doesn't adore Haylee Mills. I was rolling during the fire and brimstone speech by the reverand! My goodness, it was a wonder anyone showed up for church with sermons like that! <br /> There were a few differences between the movies. PBS's version had Pollyanna get hit by an automobile which then consequently causes Nancy to call off her engagement to the George, while Disney has Pollyanna fall off of the roof, which was much more edge of your seat. It almost happens in slow motion. The PBS version you don't know right away who the old love interest of Polly was. It's a bit of a mystery. I'm assuming that the PBS version goes more by the book, but I'm not sure just yet. I have yet to read it. Also the two endings were different. Disney's Pollyanna she is still paralyzed at the end, while PBS's she's walks down the isle to be the flower girl for Aunt Polly's wedding to Dr. Ch--- (I can't remember his name.) <br /> Either way Both versions were wonderfulWith the exception of Disney showing the random 12 year old boys bottom in the very first scene. What was that about? No foul language, one use of the Lord's name in vain, with an immediate appology for doing so. Check out both versions!! You just can't go wrong with either one!!!
Viewer Reviews
She made our town smile again! This is a little much for jaded 20,30-somethings but it has its place. Jane Wyman seemed a little too real in this movie, It became easy to see why she became Mrs Ex-Ronald Reagan.
