“Polly” (1989) is a musical re-imagining of the 1913 children’s novel “Pollyanna” (available for free here: https://archive.org/details/bwb_Y0-DRU-782) that was later turned into the popular 1960 film of the same name. While the 1960 film starred white British actress Hayley Mills, “Polly” (1989) stars Keshia Knight Pulliam (of Rudy Huxtable on “The Cosby Show” fame) and features a predominantly Black American cast
