Description:
Produced in 1982, Savannah Smiles
tells the story of Savannah, a girl of privilege who runs away
from home. She ends up in the company of Boots and Alvie, two
ex-convicts on the run. This bumbling duo soon realizes who
Savannah is and that a large reward has been offered for her
return. They try to give her back, but instead of the parents
being grateful, they accuse the two of kidnapping. Boots and Alvie
have no choice but to go underground with Savannah, and the three
soon become a family whose days are filled with kite flying,
home-cooked meals, bedtime stories, and a puppy. But Boots and
Alvie know in their hearts they must do the right thing and return
Savannah to her parents. For its time, this is a sweet movie
filled with innocence and fun. However, in a time when children
are told never to go off with strangers, it is hard to justify a
movie that glorifies that very thing, no matter how goodhearted
the two felons are. (Ages 6 and older)
