Quote from: Ron Pulliam on February 11, 2022, 06:24:10 AMI watched, on Disney+, "Pollyanna" last night. The original with Hayley Mills.It has been decades since I last saw it.It remains a delight.One of the things that stuck with me when I first saw it and which impressed me last night is the ending. There is no resolution about her future in terms of walking again, but her spirit was returned to her by the people she had touched.And all this time I thought she walked again.

We are left knowing that an operation will occur in Boston and her Aunt Polly and the young doctor who will operate will be together, happily ever after.According to Wikipedia:"The novel ends with Aunt Polly marrying her former lover Dr. Chilton and Pollyanna being sent to a hospital where she learns to walk again and is able to appreciate the use of her legs far more as a result of being temporarily disabled and unable to walk well."In the novel, she is struck by a car rather than falling from a great height.
Probably because I finished that, my brain wouldn't shut down and I was wide awake.
Some jerk named Adam Feldman in his TimeOut review for The Music Man referred to Winthrop as Marian's illegitimate son. I am so sick of these assholes conjecturing things that do not exist in the text.
