Movie Reviews of Captain January
Movie Review: A RESTORED SCENE HAS BEEN PUT BACK IN!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of Shirley's best movies and, the color version looks fantastic!!! The print used is in very good condition and the color just looks quite stunning!!
The exciting thing of all about this release is that there is a fantastic restored scene that has not been seen since it was first released!!
This scene happens after Shirley ends her "AT THE CODFISH BALL" number. The scene where the old bearded guy tells Shirley about "spitting", and the scene shows him spit and then make a funny sound and then he has Shirley try it and she does and Shirley makes a spitting sound and then such a cute noise,she does this spitting 3 times and the sound 3 times and each time she does this, she looks so very adorable!!!
Of course this scene is a real treat for all of us who are big fans of little Shirley, and to see a NEW scene of her is a big time treat!!
As an extra on the DVD there is a newsreel of Shirley being anxious to pull the rope to a Will Rodgers momorial. Notice how she seems to get kind of mad when she is first shown, she does this thing with her arms and has such a face at that point and the guys around her all look at her when she does this.
This is a MUST HAVE DVD if you are a fan of little Shirley!!
Summary of Captain January
SHIRLEY TEMPLE:CAPTAIN JANUARY - DVD MovieA 1936 vehicle for Shirley Temple, Captain January is actually a remake of a 1922 feature starring Baby Peggy Montgomery as an orphan informally adopted by the lighthouse keeper who rescues her from a storm. The Temple version, directed by David Butler, finds the little star playing a child named, well, Star, who is rescued and taken in by a salty old lighthouse-keeper known as Captain January (Guy Kibbee). Like a briny variation on Bret Harte's classic story, "The Luck of Roaring Camp," Captain January finds Star nurtured by a community of aging sailors who adore her, including her hoofer friend Paul (Buddy Ebsen), with whom Star sings and dances one of the most-beloved numbers from a Shirley Temple movie, "At the Codfish Ball." Star's fable-like paradise is disrupted by the appearance of a truant officer (Sara Haden), who determines the child isn't receiving proper schooling and overall care. That decision leads to a bit of conflict and despair, but with Temple wiggling, singing, and charming her way through her character's mostly enchanted circumstances, it's not hard to have faith in happy endings. The film is offered in both its original black-and-white presentation and in colorized form. Special features include a trailer and clips from Temple?s appearance at the presentation of a memorial to Will Rogers. --Tom Keogh
