The daughter of a wealthy businessman becomes lost in the city while traveling to a new school, and is taken in by a pair of down-on-their-luck performers.
Poor Little Rich Girl (1936) Shirley Temple certainly was on a role in her heyday!! I'm not sure this film can top her others, but I'm beginning to think many would tie in a race.
Shirley sings delightfully and charms everyone she meets. Obviously this is quite a pattern, but if it ain't broke... Poor Little Rich Girl is especially fascinating because Gloria Stuart from Titanic is a young beautiful blonde who takes a special liking to Barbara (Shirley) and her father. I've never seen the very young Gloria, and she is quite the beauty she still was in Titanic.
Also, I would be remiss if I didn't alert you to Shirley's outstanding tap dancing in the soldier scene. She looked more relaxed and was as good or better than the adults. I'm not a huge fan of tap, but I know enough to know that the last scene is one impressive number from one richly gifted performer.
