| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe original remains the most memorable of all of the versions because of Shirley, there was no one quite like her. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeIt would be a mistake to think of the film as a Shirley Temple vehicle, since it owes as much or more to Adolphe Menjou, the tragic Dorothy Dell and Damon Runyon's chracters. |
| User ReviewDiana CLove this one classic work your time if you like Sherly Temple. This is great of all ages if your a kid at heart. |
| User ReviewSarah POne of the first Shirley Temple films - very cute and funny. Definately a classic. |
| User ReviewNadège BThe first Shirley Temple movie I ever saw and it's probably one of my favorite because it owes as much to Adolphe Manjou and Dorothy Dell than it owes to Shirley Temple, who is adorable. |
| User Review***CHARLIE***I've seen a few Shirley Temple movies. Like John Wayne movies they blur into one another. This one I remember and its easy to see why Shirley Temple was as popular as she was. |
| User ReviewShiela EI thought this movie was pretty good. Definately a classic. |

| User ReviewDanny OA fun little character piece as a bunch of less-than-honest types end up having to care for a little girl. While it's a Shirley Temple film, and she's fun to watch, the main story is watching how everyone around her starts to change. Well worth a look. |
| User ReviewAlia PShirley is adorable, but the story is lacking in interest, for me anyway. I thought the ending was a let down. |
