      Audience Member Shirley Temple is, possibly, the greatest child star that ever was or ever will be. At the very least, she will certainly go down in history as the most universally popular. Between the ages of 7 and 10, she was the top box-office draw for 4 years in a row, beating out other popular actors like Clark Gable and Jean Harlow. Appearing in her breakout role in the film Stand Up and Cheer at the age of 5, she was a little girl with a near-prodigy level talent for dance, singing, and acting (she even has a tap combination named after her). A frantic radio producer must find the perfect Little Miss America for an advertiser's national program and discovers her in his country neighbor. I'm so glad TCM is showing this one. It's one of Shirley's best films! Good story, great songs, comedy and wonderful pairing of Shirley w/Bill Robinson. This one has it all! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Very sweet movie for all ages. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The best musical movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Haley needed more screen time. He's underrated. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I do not understand these Shirley Temple movies. It is another on that has little to do with the book. I can only guess that people were easily entertained and did not know what a Republican she would become. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review ashley h Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is a cute film. It is about Rebecca's Uncle Harry who leaves her with Aunt Miranda who forbids her to associate with show people. Shirley Temple and Randolph Scott give excellent performances. The screenplay is good but drags a little in some places. Allan Dwan did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and humor. Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is a must see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
