''Daddy Long Legs'' (1931) is an American Pre-Code film about an orphan who is taken under the wing of a wealthy benefactor.〔(''Daddy Long Legs'' (1931) ), imdb.com; accessed July 23, 2015.〕 The original story, written in 1912 by Jean Webster, compared the childhood of the wealthy to those in the orphanage. Although, suffering under a tough matron, Judy Abbott (Janet Gaynor) manages to cope and help the other orphans, through intelligence and hard work. Wealthy Jervis Pendleton (Warner Baxter), who is the benefactor, can't help admiring his young charge, though she doesn't know that he's sponsoring her schooling. She does not realize he has been sponsoring her, even when they meet, through Jervis' niece, who is Judy's room mate; and, the girl who was once alone, has to choose between their growing affection, and a younger suitor.〔(''Daddy Long Legs'' (1931 film) ), tcm.com; accessed July 23, 2015.〕 ==Cast== *Janet Gaynor ...
