Movie Reviews of Heidi

Movie Review: One Of Shirley's Most Touching Films
Summary: 4 Stars

Some people have said this is Shirley Temple's best film. It's not my favorite but I admit it is very good....and it has some of the most touching, wonderful moments of any of her films.

The mean old lady, "Fraulein Rottenmeier," played by Mary Nash, has too big a role in the second half of the movie making for a number of unpleasant scenes. I had gotten so involved with the story that I couldn't stand to see this mean woman so nasty to "Heidi" (Temple). Also, there was only one song-and-dance number and that's not enough for a Shirley Temple movie, in which we come to expect songs-and-dances.

The other characters were fine. Arthur Treacher provides good humor; Jean Hersholt is great as the gruff-then-loving grandfather and Marcia Mae Jones is nice as the young invalid.

This is a true classic story and ends with perhaps the most gorgeous and sweetest smile I've ever seen on Shirley's face.

Movie Review: Perfect Gift for a Little Girl at Xmas
Summary: 4 Stars

This film is very nostalgic for me. I grew up in the 50's and 60's. It was one of our family favorites then. We watched it whenever it was shown on TV. I love it as I love the book. It's not a true adaptation but charming nevertheless. Old fashioned values, lovely little songs and a poignant Christmas scene. You will do well to share this with your little ones.

Movie Review: Cute movie to share
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a very heartwarming story to share with your children/grandchildren. It appeals to all generations and has lessons on kindness, true love, and courage to teach the next generation. A "classic" story made into an entertaining movie.
