Quotes:
Col. Lloyd:
What are you doing here?
Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman: Wait, Jack, let me tell him! Father, this is the man I'm going to marry. I knew you would never give your consent, so that's why we were going to elope.
Jack Sherman: I wanted to come to you, sir, and ask your permission, but?
Col. Lloyd: Silence! Why did you assume that I would object to an honorable marriage?
Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman: I know how you feel about the South.
Col. Lloyd: I hate all Yankees.
Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman: That's why we didn't come and tell you.
Col. Lloyd: Then you knew you were doing wrong! How can you marry a man who represents everything that a true Southerner should hate? A man who fought against your father, your brother, and all your kinfolk. For all you know, he may have fired the shot that killed your brother!
Jack Sherman: I was in the war, sir, and though I fought on the other side, the South has always had my admiration and respect. My mother was a Virginian. But might I remind you, sir, that the war has been over for some time.
Col. Lloyd: The war will never be over for me and mine, sir. I want to kill you. I don't know but what I will. Elizabeth, go to your room.

There will never be a child star to match Shirley Temple. A born actress, dancer, and entertainer. In this movie she has an amazing support cast of Lionel Barrymore who plays the part of a crusty grandfather but Shirley with her cute and charming ways soon melts the heart of the old grandfather.
Hattie Mac Daniel plays the faithful servant and once again it made you realize just how much these beloved negroes sometimes knew more than " The white folks". The dancing down the steps with "Bojangles Bill Robinson" is something that can make you appreciate the talent of a young and not so young. The story line can be weak in places and the acting might be a bit corny to todays standards but if you need a feel good movie then drag out a Shirley Temple movie . You won't be disappointed.
