In my opinion this is one of the better Shirley Temple films, great cast and decent music. My one and only question is why did they always feel the need to dress her as a boy? See toy soldier outfit.
This is the story of Rebecca who is orphaned and in the guardianship of her step-father who is determined to earn a living through putting Rebecca into show business. When the are evicted and out of money he seeks out Rebecca's Aunt Miranda to take Rebecca in on her Sunnybroke Farm. The deal is that he can't come back and there will be no more show business. Then the radio man next door discovers that she is his missing little Miss usa and so in conjunction with Rebecca's first cousin, the lovely Gwen (played by future titanic star Gloria Stewart) they conspire to get her on the radio.
The music was delightfully understated, Randolph Scott and the rest of the cast were fantastic...and the clothes were to die for! There is some witty repartee between Randolph Scott and Lola Lee (Phyllis Scott), that is reminiscent of Nick and Nora in the Thin Man.
I highly recommend this Shirley Temple's film for old movie buffs like me.
