Her charm was still there but the stories were wearing thin...
REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM owes whatever charm it has to its leadinglady (SHIRLEY TEMPLE was still the number one box-office attraction inAmerica) and a modest but pleasing supporting cast. However, it'sobvious that nobody paid much attention to the original story and whatwe're left with is a rather threadbare story mixing Shirley with hershow biz talent background. And along the way, Bill Robinson gets lostin the shuffle of background characters, with only William Demarestenlivening the proceedings with his pratfalls and Helen Westley withher grumpy old maid. Edna May Oliver must have been busy.Aside from the star, GLORIA STUART does nicely as a leading lady forRANDOLPH SCOTT--the two make a handsome pair. Stuart never got her bigbreak in these sort of films but was certainly a stunning blonde in herday with very fine features. Scott seems a little standoffish, not castin his regular western mode, perhaps even a little uncomfortable in hisscenes with Shirley.Shirley has a change of hairdo (away with all those curls) but just tomake sure her audience won't pine for the good old days, she deliverssome of her old song numbers with customary ease. It has to be noted,though, that her singing voice (although on key) was always very slightindeed. She fares much better in the few tap routines she does, alwayswith that big smile and cheery presence.Not one of the best Temple films, but OK. Franklin Pangborn is fun as anervous stand-in who gets his big chance and blows it.

Shirley Temple At Her Peak
It's almost strange to look at these "Shirley Temple films" at variousstages of your own life. You view them differently as you grow older.It also depends, I suppose, on how familiar you are with 1930s films.Many of them are dated, especially with the language, songs and comedyof the period, so you have to acclimate yourself.After a decade away from her films, I viewed this one recently andfound both good and bad things about watching it. The positives,however, far outweighed the negatives and I believe this is one ofShirley's more entertaining efforts.After starring now for about five years, it's obvious how comfortableshe had become in her roles. She looked extremely confident in here andwhy not? She had her act down pat. She even performed one song that wasmedley of her hits from previous movies. Yup, she was a veteran at theripe old age of 10 and at the peak of her career in the 1930s.In this movie was the normal mixture of characters, meaning a crabbyold woman, a nice young couple that you wanted to see get married, acouple of wacky cronies, good 'ole Bill Robinson nearby....and theregular happy ending. The wholesome and pretty woman in here was GloriaStuart. She was the same lady who appeared in 1997's "Titantic."" The leading man was western star Randolph Scott and the old biddy wasHelen Westley. The goofballs were Slim Summerville, Jack Haley andWilliam Demarest. This was one of the better casts in the Templemovies.The only drawback, really, was the total lack of credibility, sceneafter scene of things that made no sense...such as an entire orchestraand chorus setting up inside a quiet farmhouse and the occupant(Westley) unaware of it??!!! There are a number of scenes that justleave you shaking your head in amazement. So....you just have tosuspend all belief and just enjoy the comedy, Shirley's tremendoustalent and appeal, and all the pleasing songs and dances in here. Thatdone, you've spent an enjoyable 80 minutes.Made during the Depression years when Americans desperately needed tofeel good, Shirley Temple was perhaps the best at filling that need.Some 70 years later, she still ranks as the greatest child entertainingin United States history and her films still put a smile on one's face.She still makes us feel good.
