Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 24, 2014

You would have to be a slab of stone not to be moved by this charming little film. Shirley Temple is magically able to convey a completely authentic, honest, emotional performance as "Heidi" -- the little orphan girl who is unwanted by almost everybody, and yet, manages to work her way into their hearts... except, for the above mentioned slabs of stone, of which there are two in the movie: Heidi's evil Aunt Dete, and Fraulein Rottenmeier, the villainous housekeeper for Herr Sesemann, and self-appointed guardian for Klara, Herr Sesemann's "invalid" daughter. Neither of these two unfortunate women are able to experience human emotion, nor do they apparently understand the value of human life.

But fortunately, Heidi does, and from the moment Shirley Temple hits the screen, which is just about from the first instant the movie starts, until it ends on her beatific smile, Shirley, as "Heidi," carries this entire film on her delicate young shoulders and never misses a beat.

There are some curmudgeonly critics out there who get up in arms because the film doesn't match the book page-by-page. I say, "So what?" For anyone who has ever produced a film from an existing source, harsh creative decisions must be made. Unless we are going to turn a book into a multi-year series, where every moment the author intended is captured lovingly for hardcore fans, a film must select highlights from the book, and must also take liberties (sometimes huge ones) based on what the producers/directors/screenwriters feel best suit a story that will work well on screen. So for all the amazing number of haters of this film who are PO'd that it doesn't accurately portray every beloved moment, I say: Go and make your own film and you will quickly discover that it would be nigh on impossible to achieve the level of perfection you seem to think should be inherent in every film production of every major hit book.

Now that I got that off my chest: This film is simple, straight-ahead and sentimental. And I liked it for those reasons. I didn't have to sit for hours and try to figure out the "double meanings" or "hidden layers" or "coded messages." I put it on, watched it, got sucked into it, fell in love with Shirley's incredible sweet, light, joyful personage all over again, cried my eyes out at how she was mistreated and beamed with happiness when everything finally all works out.

What is shocking, though, about this film, is that there is a fair amount of blatant child abuse, starting with the goat-butting of Shirley into the ground, fairly early on. Apparently she did the scene, but her mother got worried and they finally used a double. It would never happen now. What if she had gotten hurt or injured? It was actually insane that they let that happen and filmed it. That bothered me, knowing that she could have been hurt. But people just weren't thinking that way back then. Also, Shirley is yanked, dragged, pulled away, shaken and more in this film and, now that I am an adult, and knowing that I was treated the same way as a child, I am astonished to think that this is what people do to children. So, I found this disturbing, but I found it realistic, because I personally experienced such abuse for my entire childhood.

I found the relationship between Heidi and the "invalid" girl Klara to be totally believable. I find it interesting to know that Shirley's mother was fearful that Marcia Mae Jones (as Klara) was going to outshine Shirley, and I'll admit, she was an incandescent presence on the screen, but I'm sorry, nothing could outshine or take the attention away from Shirley. As one of my young producer friends said yesterday (glad to know that Shirley is still a topic of conversation by people who know anything about film and real stars) that Shirley "owned" the screen. Indeed she did.

So, yes, it's in black and white. Yes, it's simple. Yes, it's old. But I would say if you are not touched by this film, it's because you yourself are out of touch with human emotions. I imagine that this generation's young people (who live on their phones/computers and watch sleek TV series on Hulu or Netflix and who are constantly bombarded by sex and violence to the point that their senses are dulled) probably won't appreciate it, but, I'm thrilled that I was able to watch it on Amazon Prime and relive some precious moment of my childhood. I would normally not say this under any other circumstances, but thank God for Shirley Temple. If I ever feel sad or blue or down, I'll watch one of her films and cheer right up.

A WONDERFUL, HEARTWARMING FILM...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

Filmed in 1937, time has not diminished the ability of this film to charm the viewer. I first saw it as a child, then again with my own children. We all loved it. Seeing it again, I was not disappointed. I still love this movie!

Shirley Temple is perfection in the role of Heidi, the little eight year old orphan who is taken by her cruel aunt to live in the Alps with a grandfather she has never met. Her grandfather, who has a fearsome reputation with the local villagers, lives in isolation in a primitive hut in the mountains. When Heidi is unceremoniously left on his doorstep, he takes her in most reluctantly, as she is the daughter of his deceased son, Tobias, from whom he was estranged.

Heidi works her magic, and soon enough her grandfather finds himself a changed man, rejoining the community he had once rejected. Her scheming aunt, however, returns and surreptitiously steals Heidi away from the grandfather she loves and who has come to love her. Taking her to Frankfort, she leaves her with a wealthy family as companion to a seemingly disabled child. Once again, Heidi works her magic, but runs afoul of the scheming governess, who has plans of her own. Therein lies the tale.

The entire cast is wonderful, but it is Shirley Temple as Heidi who dominates. There has never been a child actor with the star quality exuded by Shirley Temple. With her golden curls, dimples, charismatic personality, and talent, she instantaneously charms the viewer. She can make one laugh or move one to tears in the blink of an eye. All this is evident in this wonderful family film, which is based on a well known children's book.

Colorized classic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my granddaughters who had never heard of Shirley Temple or seen this classic based on the Johanna Spyri classic children's novel. Shirley temple shines as Heidi, the orphaned child who goes to live with her recluse grandfather played by Jean Hersholt. Their happiness is thrown asunder when an evil aunt steals her way to Frankfort. Also in the cast are: Julien Josephson, Egon Brecher, Marcia Mae Jones, Allan Dwan, Raymond Griffith, Thomas Beck, Pauline Moore, Sidney Blackmer, Allen McNeil, Walter Ferris, Arthur C. Miller, Delmar Watson, Arthur Treacher, Helen Westley, Mary Nash, and Mady Christians.

One can enjoy wither the original black & whte version or the colorized version. I ended up buiyng a copy for myself.

Always check for the more recent colourisation!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

Good film but... I bought this disc on the presumption that it was going to be a modern restoration and colourisation by Legend Films. The sleeve was well presented with beautifully coloured screen captures from the film and a 2012 date stamp. Even Wikipedia touted Legend films as having colourised the film in 2005. So I guessed that the film would be restored to the same quality as ‘Captain January’ and ‘Bright Eyes’, both done by Legend Films. I was wrong. This is the awful 1986 colourisation by ‘Color Systems Technology Inc ‘and what makes it even worse is that it’s sourced from a back-up tape. Thus the picture quality and sound quality is particularly bad. The packaging states that the sound is in ‘2.0’ stereo. This is false, the sound was mono, not simulated stereo. The disc is date stamped 2005 and my guess is that this is a re-release of the 1986 colourisation with new packaging.

Adequate rendering of the original story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

Nicely colourised and Shirley is waaaay cute, but apart from a sweet depiction of the innocent child softening the heart of the gruff Grandfather, much of the original plot falls by the wayside. At least I can recognise the book here (unlike A Little Princess ). Aunt Diete is suitably mean, Clara Sesemann is appropriately beguiling and Fraulein Rottenmier recognisably peevish and narrow minded. Heidi played by Shirley is very cute and captures the spirit of infectiously joyful innocence portrayed in the book. As a blockbuster Americanising and altering a bestseller book to give wider audience appeal it is as good as any modern effort. But as always, large parts of the plot and the underlying message have become somewhat clouded in translation.

Very disappointed with this DVD although Shirley's acting was wonderful for a child her age. Found it boring and not much
story to it. It will go in the bag for the charity shop and hopefully some little child will get pleasure from it. I think I was
remembering the book too much from my childhood.
