Excellent example of the cuteness and talent that made her a star.
29 August 1999 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

After all these years and with all the changes within our society it is amazing to feel the charm of this sparkling young girl. Even with Jack Haley, Alice Faye and Claude Gillingwater providing such good support, there is no doubt who makes this film work - Shirley Temple.

A child that any parent could be proud of. Strong-willed, intelligent, talented, and fearless yet obedient and loving.

The performance, with Jack and Alice of the "Spinach" song, coupled with the final dance routine would, by themselves, make this movie worth watching repeatedly.
