Zusammenfassung:Marshall Neilan's "Daddy-Long-Legs", the first screen adaptation of Jean Webster’s popular nineteenth-century novel, is a typical Mary Pickford vehicle in which, for much of the running time she plays a wilful but adorable child. That was how America liked "Little Mary", and Pickford, then approaching the height of her fame, was a savvy enough businesswoman to know when to play to her strengths ... Pickford plays Judy Abbott, an orphan at the kind of orphanage out of a Dickens novel. The matron is a monster who thinks nothing of scalding her charges hands on the stove and ensuring they're regular by feeding them a constant diet of prunes. Judy's independent spirit marks her out as a troublemaker, but she is a kind soul who takes the other orphans under her wing. One day, a mystery benefactor agrees to pay for Judy's college tuition on the condition that his identity remains unknown to her. Judy thrives at college, and attracts a pair of rival paramours: the young and slightly immature Jimmy McBride, and Jarvis Pendleton, a much older man. Naturally, before the film's end, she must choose between one of these two suitors, but which will it be? [www.2020-movie-reviews.com]
