Who wrote the script?
William Blinn, a screenwriter and executive producer, who worked with Debbie Allen on Fame is the man who was commissioned to write the adaptation for The World of Disney’s “Polly.” Blinn, who had produced Purple Rain, and would eventually have a hand in the series “Half and Half” told People why he and others decided to write this television movie for an all black cast. “If you are going to remake a picture and just do what they did before, I see no reason to remake it. We decided to make it at a time when black confidence started to come into greater visibility.”
