“An exciting comedy!” – Battleship Pretension

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, the film 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.
