What fun to curl up and watch a clean, uplifting movie again. I loved all of the Shirley Temple movies as a child and 50 years later, I still do! Of course, now I can watch them in color!

Cute, old-fashioned charm
Added 3/23/2008
Cute, old-fashioned charm - the way movies should be - is the best way to describe this. If you're a fan of Shirley Temple, you'll enjoy this sweet movie. The only disappointing part is that in a description, I had read that she sings a number of her classics (Good Ship Lollipop and others), but she really only sings a couple of lines from them.

charming Temple vehicle
Added 5/4/2007
Despite it's title, REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM is not a re-telling of the classic Kate Douglas Wiggin story. This is one of the most charming films that Shirley Temple starred in, and I enjoy revisting it often.
Temple plays Rebecca Winstead, a young radio singer who is discovered by talent scout Tony Kent (Randolph Scott). There's only one hitch: Rebecca's frosty Aunt Miranda (Helen Westley) who isn't about to have her niece go into showbusiness. You can pretty much guess the rest...
This little gem runs at a brisk pace and is filled with warmth and humour. Temple gets to share the screen with some of her regular cohorts (Helen Westley, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Jack Haley, Gloria Stuart and Randolph Scott).
The musical score includes such delights as "An Old Straw Hat", "Happy Endings", "Come and Get Your Happiness", and "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers". Temple also gets to sing a medley of her greatest hits.
The cast also features Phyllis Brooks, Slim Summerville, Ruth Gillette, William Demarest, and Dixie Dunbar. Look out for a young Mary McCarty, playing Florabelle, the singer with "mike-fright" in the auditions scene.
