- Daddy Long Legs (1931) is an American pre-Code film directed by Alfred Santell and starring Janet Gaynor and Warner Baxter. The story involves an orphan who is taken under the wing of a wealthy benefactor. As she grows up, he finds himself falling in love with her, and she with him, though she does not know that the man she has fallen for is her benefactor. Jean Webster's story was adapted for the screen several times: with Mary Pickford in 1919 and Leslie Caron in 1955.

Great movie! I like this version far better than the newer version starring Fred Astaire! Thank you so much fir this great rendition!🙏🏻🥰
Fred would be more like Grandaddy longlegs!
Janet Gaynor and Warner Baxter set a high bar for other actors! They are two of the best, and this film is an example. The dog steals every scene!!
Very sweet! Thank you! 🥰
JANET GAYNOR AND WARNER BAXTER ARE ALWAYS 👍 GREAT AS IS UNA MERKRL!!
Wonderfully Sentimental---definitely from bygone Era. ! Im pretty hard-nosed but nearly shed a tear over this one with Janet's innocence and winsome performance. How screenwriter Sonya Levien and director Alfred Santell managed to skirt potential "Kinkiness" and salacious meanings remains a Miracle. In the 21st century, "Zaddy" Baxter would have made Judy a "Baby Mama" 30 mins into running time.
Oh my gosh!! Thank you for posting this version! I have been wanting to see it for a couple of years!!
For many years, Janet Gaynor was Fox's most bankable star; one of the few who made the transition from silent to sound. Then came Shirley Temple, but too late to save the company. By 1931, William Fox had lost control of the studio and it would be sold four years later.
Awesome drama ! ❤️🙏🇨🇦

even Curly Top with Shirly Temple borrowed from this movie but Shirley had Mr. Jones and Janet had Mr. Smith

How could she have been born if her parents were already dead?
It’s a joke. She doesn’t know anything about her parents so she makes up nonsense because why not
Teaching children to disregard a whole race of people.I guess that's one way to feel better about being poor and considered trash by your own race. Forgive us Lord.
I can’t believe they started a movie like this. Was looking forward to watching this. Now nope! Shameful!
@@Tina-od7bo I'm personally pleased that this movie is still available today despite the obviously outdated themes in it. it's tasteless and wrong without a doubt, but we cannot just look away from it. we gotta face the fact that this sorta thinking was the norm for a disturbingly long time, and appreciate just how far we've come in the fight against discrimination of folks based on the color of their skin. I get that you guys are upset, but I also don't think that blatant bigotry in a movie from the 1930's should be disregarded, or censored.
we've come a long way, and this film does nothing but prove that further.
Didn’t hear or realize there was racial degradation in what the little dish-washing girls were chanting, until I perused these comments. Yet the thieving brazen boy snaps at the girls saying, “Meh, you’re ALL a bunch of eenie-meanie-miney-moes!!“....indicating they were no better than slaves in their own rut of drudgery.
”Eeny, meeny, miny, moe”--little orphan girls dish washing are reciting an old nursery rhyme when a brazen boy tells them, “Meh, you’re all a bunch of eeny, meeny, miny, moes!” (as they were in fact enslaved in their own drudgery & rut.) One girl tells the boy ”poetry makes the work go faster!” He retorts, “Nuts! You call that poetry?” and in this sense the degradation of the nursery rhyme is at least somewhat countered.
