The Little Princess is living proof that Shirley Temple was much more than just a dimpled tot who could sing and dance on cue. Her tearful reunion with her missing dad (Ian Hunter) in a hospital ward at the conclusion of this classic story should move even the most hardened cynic. Her tears range from joy to hysteria as she tries to tell the shell-shocked soldier that she is his daughter. This is a lavish production with Shirley Temple at 12 doing an expert job as Sara the little miss who has to bear the indignities of a boarding school once her father has been declared dead in the Boer War. The harsh mistress (Mary Nash) has her stripped of all privileges and makes her live in the attic while becoming a servant in the very household where she was once called `The Little Princess by the other girls. There are departures from the original novel since the script is given a `Shirley Temple formula to ensure its success as the right vehicle for her at that time. It succeeds in being a heart-warming tale of a girls courage and determination when it seems that there is no hope of finding her father alive. The ending with Queen Victoria giving Shirley an approving nod is an added delight. One of Shirleys best performances with a wonderful cast of supporting players.
