Review of Curly Top

Curly Top (1935)
7/10
John Bowles and Shirley Temple are delightfully paired in this film.
6 May 2023
John Bowles plays the too good to be true Edward Morgan who sees our curly top Shirley Temple at an orphanage and falls instantly in love, taking both her and her older sister Mary home for the summer to spoil them rotten under the disguise of a mystery benefactor.

This is a wonderful vehicle for Shirley Temple and allowed for some wonderful musical numbers including the adorable "Animal Crackers in my Soup".

Aunt Genevieve, played exceptionally by Esther Dale, plays a pivotal role when the lovely Mary has a competitor for her affections in the shape of a young wealthy pilot named Jimmy (played by the handsome Maurice Murphy).

Super sweet and a must see if you are a Shirley Temple fan.
