Shirley Temple Shines
Reasons why this film is worth seeing:
1. Bright Eyes stars Shirley Temple. What an appropriate title. Shirley is too cute for words. If you look at her filmography you will see that she had plenty of roles under her belt by the time she made this film, but this is one of the early films that put her on the map.
2. Shirley's performance was so popular, it put her on the cover of "Time" and won an Academy Award.
3. The canine star of the film is Terry, who later played Toto in The Wizard of Oz.
4. Jane Withers nails her performance of the bratty spoiled kid who terrorizes Shirley and everyone else. Only The Bad Seed has a better juvenile villain.
5. Shirley sings her signature song: "On the Good Ship Lollipop".
