An Undated (probably 2000s, between 2005-2010) Re-Release Folded Egyptian Poster (measures 27 1/2" x 39 1/4" [70 x 100 cm) (Learn More) Daddy Long Legs, the 1919 Marshall P. Neilan silent orphan romantic comedy ("Jean Webster's famous story and play"; about a middle aged millionaire who meets an 18 year old girl in an orphanage, and he is in love with her, but restrains himself and sends her to college, but after several years, they fall in love) starring Mary Pickford, Milla Davenport, Percy Haswell, Fay Lemport, and Mahlon Hamilton (as Jarvis Pendleton). Note that this was the first movie produced by Mary Pickford's own studio! Note that this movie was based on a play and novel by Jean Webster from 1912. It was made into this silent movie in 1919, and was remade as a sound film in 1931 with Janet Gaynor, and then was significantly altered so that Shirley Temple could play the lead in "Curly Top" in 1935, and then was remade with Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron in 1955. Obviously, it is extremely unlikely that this plot will ever be used again, because in today's world, a story about a middle aged man falling in love with an 18 year old that he "adopts" is very inappropriate!
