Polly

Set in 1950s Alabama, the film features an all African American cast (with the exception of Celeste Holm). Keshia Knight Pulliam stars as Polly, an orphan who moves in with her Aunt Polly and attempts to unite the small Southern town during the segregation era.
Polly proved to be a ratings hit and a sequel, Polly: Comin Home, followed in 1991.
