    A really cute movie, this is one when Shirley's still very young.

    Cute Shirley Temple vehicle, as expected it is quite overly sentimental but it works in this movie. Good supporting cast and a couple of sweet musical numbers are plusses.

    Not interested in watching. I used to really like her movies, but I've grown out of that phase. There is still a couple I wouldn't mind watching, but not many.
