Ooh, how I wished I could hurl myself into the movie and repeatedly kick Miss Minchin where the sun don't shine! Shirley Temple and Company were terrific, and so is your wonderful post, C.W.!

I haven't gotten to see this for a while -- now I have to! Of course, Arthur Treacher is always marvelous, and Richard Greene was at his prettiest, wasn't he? One of Shirley's best!

I also like how the ending builds up suspense, as to whether Shirley will find her father - plus there's Beryl Mercer as Queen Victoria- she plays it so well!grandoldmovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773085288675763855noreply@blogger.com
