favorite Shirley movie?
I grew up with Shirley Temple and my whole family loved her so I've seen many of her most popular films. I'd watch "Curly Top" with my mother because I think she liked John Boles looks and voice. But I think I liked him better in "The Little Rebel'. "Heidi" and "Captain January" are wonderful stories and (partial to tall men) I love watching Buddy Ebsen dancing with her especially when they do that little "Fred & Ginger" move. But I think my favorite movie of hers is "The Little Colonel" with Lionel Barrymore. I like this story, the costumes and the excellent dance numbers with Bill Robinson. What a marvelous child to keep up with him, and of all her ages, I prefer her around this age. Also, I don't mind colorized versions but would prefer to see the Black & White films just as they were originally made.
