The Little Girl starts growing up,
By
This review is from: Miss Annie Rooney [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Shirley Temple starred in this movie when she was at that difficult age when most child stars founder and disappear forever. It's a pleasant, easy to watch movie, although today's kids probably won't care for it much. Annie Rooney (Shirley Temple), the daughter of an unsuccessful inventor, and her friends meet at each other's houses to dance and have fun. Listen for the forties slang! When Annie meets a new boy, and a rich one at that, she teaches him the slang and the dances and he becomes infatuated. This movie has some well-known character actors and some young actors who became better known later. Annie's best friend is a scream. It's particularly funny to hear Annie's father trying to interpret what the kids' slang is saying ("I feel like I'm hearing a foreign language!") with the grandfather's help. And Temple is adorable as always, but really gives a pretty good performance, especially considering her age. A charming movie; well worth watching more than once.

This review is from: Miss Annie Rooney [VHS] (VHS Tape)
1942 B&W Shirley Temple, Guy Kibbee, Dickie Moore. I enjoy Shirley Temple as a teenager. She does not lose all her talent as she becomes older. Shirley is 14 and this it the second film she made after her Fox contract expired. Captain January (Guy Kibbee)costars with her again as her loving and protective grandfather. Child star, Dickie Moore plays her love interest and gives Shirley her first on screen kiss(Hardly a peck on the cheek). The acting is very good in this film, but it is not always a cheerful plot. The movie was made during World War II and it portrays that time period.
Many people seem to think that "A Kiss for Corliss" (AKA Almost a Bride) is a sequel to this movie, but it has nothing to do with it. As a Shirley Temple fan I would rank this movie at 37 out of her 46 movies.

Even though all of Shirley Temple's movies were made before I was born, I still love her movies -- no matter how old she is in them.
