DVD Review: DON'T BUY THIS YOU WILL REGRET IT!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this DVD for my granddaughter. The story and the acting are excellent. The copy however STINKS. I rated this copy a "1" only because there is nothing lower. I have made a note to never buy anything by "Good Times DVD". These people may no attempt to clean up this film, just find any copy, copy it and rip off the public. I am also surprised that Amazon would allow such a product to be sold under its banner. A word to all out there always read the reviews with a 1 or a 2 rating before you buy.DVD Review: Fair-To-Middlin' Temple Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
I wouldn't rank this in the top half of all the Shirley Temple movies of the 1930s. It's not the worst but it's far from her best. One thing for sure: it's definitely better than the insufferably-politically correct 1995 remake.
"Amanda Mirchin" as the owner of a school, is the villain in here and Mary Nash did her acting job well because you hate this woman as the film goes on. Temple, as "Sara Crewe," overacted a bit with the fake teary scenes. She was never too realistic with those parts of a movie, but convincing in every other way.
Also, I prefer Temple's more light-hearted films, of which this is not one, although Arthur Treacher was a good guy and fun to watch. He does two song-and-dance numbers with Shirley that help bring some brightness to the story.
DVD Review: What's On Tap
Summary: 5 Stars
Long before the 1995 remake supplanted the legendary Shirley Temple in the minds of young audiences; The Little Princess was a 1939 story set in Victorian England and starring the Academy Award winning actress. As a timeless story (now eighty years old) of perseverance in the face of adversity, the Little Princess evokes a full range of emotions rarely seen in modern cinema. You'll tear up as a young Shirley is forced from her home, but you'll laugh and smile during the film's dancing (Shirley is quite an accomplished tap dancer) and singing routines.
Film historians may delight to note that this was (to the best of my knowledge) the first Technicolor film that Temple starred in, and it noticeably shows, particularly when compared to some of Shirley's earlier works that have been newly colorized by classic film studio, Legend Films. Nevertheless, the Depression-era presentation conveys a strong sense of the film's place within time, contributing a wonderfully nostalgic quality to the overall experience.
DVD Review: As a kid...
Summary: 5 Stars
The Little PrincessAs a kid I would watch this movie over and over again on VHS. It has been about 21 years since I saw it and I am thoroughly impressed with the masterful acting and song in this movie. Child actors today don't have the acting talent or musical ability of Shirley Temple.
Description of The Little Princess
Based on the famous novel by writer Frances Hodgson Burnett, Shirley portrays Sara, the pampered daughter of a British officer. Left in boarding school when her father goes off to war, Sara's world is turned upside down when he is reported dead. Destitute, Sara is made a servant st the school, yet she refuses to let her spirit be broken. She also refuses to believe her father is really gone and begins searching the army hospitals to find him.Shirley Temple stars in this 1939 version of the Frances Hodgson Burnett novel about a little, motherless girl left in the care of a girls boarding school by her soldier father, and then made into a servant there when he's missing in action during World War I. The fine tear-jerking film is a good vehicle for the famous moppet, and director Walter Lang (The King and I) makes a memorably lavish production of the Victorian milieu. The final scene, in which our Shirley is helped by one of the most famous women in history, brings down the house. --Tom Keogh
