DVD Review: Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband ordered this as it was one of his favorite Shirley Temple movies. The quality was good, we are pleased with this purchase.DVD Review: Good, Except the Sappy Ending
Summary: 3 Stars
The Ballantines (Jack Oakie, Charlotte Greenwood) are a vaudeville couple who inherit a friend's daughter (Shirley Temple) when they die. They raise her on the stage, and the family is a big success, but they feel that their little girl should have a more normal childhood and being putting payments on a farmhouse in a small town.
When they have enough money saved, the Ballantines move into their new home. With dreams of an easy transition into the community, they find that their stage career pushes them far away from the conservative values of the townspeople, and the family has a rough time adjusting.
This movie incorporates a few early Temple performances, like clips of her singing and dancing in Baby Take a Bow. The editing is clever and works well with the story.
The ending, however, is sappy and formulaic and ruins what began a pretty decent flick. Young People was never on the road to being anything outstanding, but the grand finale pulls it down from where it could have finished.
DVD Review: Temple's last Fox musical
Summary: 3 Stars
YOUNG PEOPLE (1940) was, despite it's mix of the regular Temple movie trappings, an even bigger flop at the box office than THE BLUE BIRD, released earlier that same year. Back in black-and-white, and with the "child star" cuteness becoming a slightly uncomfortable fit for the rapidly maturing twelve-year-old Temple, it lacks a certain zest; although Temple gives a great performance and is matched every step of the way by her co-stars Jack Oakie and Charlotte Greenwood.
The story follows vaudeville team Joe and Kitty Ballantine (Oakie and Greenwood) and their adopted daughter Wendy (Temple) as they attempt to retire on a farm in New England, only to find hostility and scorn from their old-fashioned, small-minded neighbours.
This was Shirley's last movie for Fox. After her two failures in 1940 (and with no scripts on the immediate horizon), it was decided, in an agreement between producer Darryl F. Zanuck and Temple's parents, to finally terminate her contract. Oddly enough, one of the songs in the film ("Young People") contains lyrics that keenly reflected Temple's personal situation at the time. Audiences wanted Shirley to remain a curly-haired moppet, Temple wanted to grow up. Something had to give...
YOUNG PEOPLE features a clever prologue in which we actually "see" the Wendy/Temple character grow up whilst performing in the Ballantine's act. This was achieved by using a body double for long-shots, intercut with footage of Shirley herself performing "The Beaches of Waikiki" from 1935's CURLY TOP, and "Baby, Take a Bow" from 1934's STAND UP AND CHEER! Despite it's shortcomings, YOUNG PEOPLE is a solid movie and a worthy and touching coda to Shirley Temple's Fox years.
DVD Review: SUPERB!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Shirley Temple does it again! This show is guaranteed to chase your blues away. After all, we all want happiness and Shirley shows us just how to be happy no matter what we face.DVD Review: SHIRLEY PULLS A BRITNEY...
Summary: 3 Stars
This is one of the first movies I have seen where Shirley is this old.
Like in her other movies she tries to make jokes and giggle and she could get away with sitting on older mens laps and holding their hand..in this movie it just does not seem to work.
After her family quits vaudeville they move to a small dumpy town.
Shirley decides to be in the town talent show and gets the other kids involved..the act she decided to perform seems to have come straight from Britney's book.. Complete with provocative dance moves Shirley goes on about how "all you people look at me like I'm a little girl" and how she is all grown up and is looking for fun and a boyfriend etc.
Not my favorite Shirley movie but it is interesting..
