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 changing hands, but even predicting the film's outcome cannot diminish its charm. Star
Mark Miller, who also scripted
Savannah Smiles, is the father of actress
Penelope Ann Miller.
