Annie Was a Wonder (1949)
Told from the perspective of narrator John Nesbit’s childhood, this short tells the tale of Swedish immigrant Annie who was hired to be a maid by Nesbit’s family. It’s a cute little bit of nostalgia, but is a really simplistic view of the lives of servants, reminiscent of Southern representations of slave characters in Civil War films.
Oscar Nomination: Best Short Subject, One-reel
