Movie Info

Savannah Smiles is a sweet little film that proved a surprising hit on the Saturday matinee circuit. Mark Miller and Donovan Scott play a pair of good-natured escaped convicts who cross the path of precocious runaway Bridgette Andersen. When Andersen explains that she's hit the road because her wealthy parents neglect her, Miller and Scott decide to hold the kid for a huge ransom. You and I both know that the crooks will turn soft before the end, and return Andersen to her folks without a dollar

Slapstick adventure sweet, but treats running away lightly.

Bridgette Anderson in her unforgettable movie debut stars as Savannah, a delightful six-year-old runaway, who is thrown together with two criminally inept escaped convicts, Alvie and Boots. Touching and beautiful. An instant classic for the entire family to cherish for years to come.
