Description
Directed by David Butler USA/1934/83 minutes/B&W This film is one of the reasons that Shirley Temple is still emblazoned in the minds of Americans today, as Bright Eyes is the film that first brought the song "On the Good Ship Lollipop" to Depression-era audiences across the country. (Although the song has nothing to do with a ship!) The film features a stand-out performance by Temple, in addition to superb character actors and a broad range of emotions. Shirley Temple's work in this film earned her a special pint-sized Oscar, and lasting fame as America's sweetheart.
