The review
Mary Pickford, and a house can watch it, which is not the same as calling the setup harmless. An orphan is sent to college by a trustee she has not seen. She calls him Daddy-Long-Legs. The money stays a secret. I kept waiting for the gift to stay a gift. It doesn't. The romance grows toward the man who paid.
It was a hit in the year of The Miracle Man, so the houses already liked this arrangement. The dependence is the plot. I wouldn't give it to a child as a sweet school story without saying who the suitor is. College is real. The person who funded it is the person the picture aims her at. I sat through that and still saw the secret doing the work.
Journal
Keep Daddy-Long-Legs in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 38. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this
The Devil Wears Prada
51 instead of 38
The Devil Wears Prada is still a comedy film, and it scores 51 instead of 38. What you gain is industry: The office is work: deadlines, competence, a boss who can tell when you have not tried.
