Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to writer and director David Swift, after looking at 362 girls for the part of Pollyanna, they still did not have anyone to play the part. One day, producer Walt Disney's wife Lilly went shopping with Disney studio head Bill Anderson's wife while they were in London, England, on business. The two ladies saw Hayley Mills in Tiger Bay (1959) and thought she was perfect for the role of Pollyanna. The two men didn't listen to them, but they were so persistent that the men finally agreed to watch the movie and immediately decided to cast Hayley.
- GoofsIn Mrs Snow's bedroom there is a serpentine-fronted chest of drawers prominently displayed in several scenes. One of the drawers in the chest has been slid into place upside-down (this is easily discernible due to the shape of the handles and the position of the key-hole).

Featured review
This movie ,,Pollyanna'' is quite fascinating especially the leading actress makes a wonderful atmosphere while watching the actual film. A good adaptation but it would have been nice if they'd show the ending with Pollyanna on crutches. In some moments you could have seen a tear in my eye, which proves the fact of the movie being sad and realistic. Sweet Haylie Mills and the other actors make a great-standard presentation of their talent.Unfortunately their seems to be something missing and my vote goes for the ending. I also loved to see Agnes Moorehead and the lovely cooks.If you liked this movie you'd probably love ,,The parent trap'' with the same actress, or should I say actresses taking the lead. A good film for the whole family.
