Movie Reviews of Little Miss Broadway
Movie Review: "Dontcha be a grumpy!"
Summary: 3 Stars
Betsy (Shirley Temple) is a little orphan girl who knows that the world should just all "smile, smile! Smile and be happy!" Her cheery attitude gets her adopted into a theatrical family who resides at a hotel, but the landlady wants her money, and the troupe has none. Fortunately for Betsy, the landlady's nephew (George Murphy) is sympathetic to their cause and wants to help.
Little Miss Broadway is pleasant but standard. The story is absolutely unimportant; the stars are really the highlight.
One of the most exciting things about this movie is the brilliant supporting cast, a bunch of character actors with plenty of personality. The most famous one is Jimmy Durante whose trademark nose and gravelly voice are just foundation for smiles. Donald Meek and Edna Mae Oliver play well off of each other as spouses who never agree. El Brendel appears in the jazz band and has a few cute scenes with a penguin. I have found that most people dislike him, but I adore his childlike grin and phoney accent. George and Olive Brasno appear as (what else) two midgets from a show; they are best remembered today for their several appearances in the Our Gang films.
