Description
Mary Pickford plays a "tomboy of the tenements" in this comedy drama, which she also wrote. Filmed over ten weeks, Little Annie Rooney was shot entirely on a set created by art director John D. Schulze at the Pickford Fairbanks Studio. Co-starring William Haines and a wide-ranging, multi-ethnic cast, Little Annie Rooney met with huge critical and commercial success upon it's original release, proving fans and critics alike wanted the then 33-year old Mary to stay a child forever. Created from the original tinted nitrate print in Mary Pickford's personal collection at the Library of Congress, Little Annie Rooney was preserved photo chemically by the Academy Film Archive. A new 35mm preservation master was then scanned at 4K high definition so that the Mary Pickford Foundation, in cooperation with AMPAS, could create a digital version to perfectly match the original nitrate tints and tones. Andy Gladbach composed a new, original soundtrack for the film, which features a 12 piece orchestra, including three percussionists. Review ''This is the Mary Pickford who will always be loved and welcomed. This is Mary at her best and her truest...'' Photoplay October 1925 ''Little Annie Rooney, staring the luminous Mary Pickford, was an unexpected delight (at the 2017 Glasgow Film Festival?) ... It is easy to see why Pickford was one of the most internationally renowned and best loved stars of her day.'' Georgina Coburn --Geogina Coburn Arts Blog, October
