Savannah Smiles is a 1982 family film written and produced by Mark Miller. Miller also played one of the male leads in the film. The film was directed by Pierre De Moro, and starred Bridgette Andersen as the title character, with Mark Miller and Donovan Scott as the two vagabonds who befriend her.

Production

Mark Miller was the creative force behind the project. He conceived the story, wrote the screenplay, starred in and produced the movie. Miller got the idea for the movie when his daughter Savannah was a toddler. Her unruly curly blonde hair and smiling face struck Miller as so appealing that he came to believe he could make a successful movie around that alone.

Sixty child actresses tried out for the part of Savannah. This was narrowed down to twelve who were asked to audition before Miller, including Drew Barrymore. Auditioning Bridgette Andersen, he asked her to tell him any bedtime story she knew. Bridgette told Miller the story of Br'er Rabbit. He liked her telling of the story so well he included it in the movie.

He asked Donovan Scott to play the role of Boots McGaffey, Alvie's friend, and relied upon him for the slapstick comedy that he used to lighten the story.

The film was shot on location in Salt Lake City, Provo Canyon, and in the mountain country to the southeast near Sundance in Utah. The gondola scene was shot at the area's Bridal Veil Falls.
