The Shirley Temple Collection: Volume 1 (Captain January / Curly Top / Heidi / Just Around the Corner / and more)

I'm not old enough to have watched these films when they were first released, but I have fond memories of watching these on my parents' black-and-white television more than fifty years ago. As such, these vintage films bring back images of a simpler time.I had already purchased volume three, and have now expanded my collection to also include volume one. Buying these collections out of sequence is of little consequence since the film titles are not presented in chronological order. Here are the six films contained in this set:"Heidi" (1937, 88 min., rated G) One of Shirley Temple's best known films--and among her best. (Certainly in the top three!)"Curly Top" (1935, 76 min., rated G) This film features the signature song "Animal Crackers in My Soup.""Little Miss Broadway" (1936, 72 min., rated PG) Jimmy Durante is among the cast members."Captain January" (1936, 76 min., rated G) Includes a dance scene with Buddy Ebsen called "At the Codfish Ball.""Just Around the Corner" (1938, 70 min., rated G) This was the last Shirley Temple film to include Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Bert Lahr also makes an appearance as the chauffeur."Susannah of the Mounties" (1939, 79 min., rated PG) Even though the film also starred Randolph Scott, by 1939 Shirley Temple's films began to decline at the box office and she would make only two more films for 20th Century Fox before she was let out of her contract.Note: All films are presented on separate discs. Each disc contains the original black-and-white film as well as a colorized version.Shirley Temple was the No. 1 box office draw four years in a row from 1935-1938. [ Note: She was the No. 2 box office draw for the decade--the No. 1 for the decade was Clark Gable.] During her stint at 20th Century Fox, her singing, dancing and acting lit up the screen. I dare you to watch these films and not feel your spirits lifted. What more can you ask of a movie? VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Love all Shirley Temple moviesFor my granddaughters..the movies these days are terribleThis will be refreshing..

Love her movies will be ordering mre

This was a gift. I don’t know if they’ve watched it yet!

These old movies, in color or black & white, were a lot of fun to watch. However, the disc for Little Miss Broadway was blank, no movie. It's just not worth my effort to return it for replacement. Now I'm hesitant to order any more DVD sets of Shirley Temple, in case the same thing happens.

The quality of these movies are just as good as my video's maybe even better. and these sets are a lot cheaper then the others that have only 3 movies each on them. These have 6 movies on 6 dvd's in each box. The first collection the movies were mixed up from what it says but is easy to put themin the right order. The 2nd Collection is in the right order but the last one (Wee Willie Winkle) does not have a picture on the dvd the name is in red, but... has good quality. So no big deal. The 3rd collection one is all in order and I didn't see anything wrong. Mind you I only checked the beginning of the first movie in each box. So hopefully the quality stays good and no other problems with any of them. (It will take a while though). Once I have watched them all I will come back if there are anyproblems.

I am so glad that my granddaughters loved the same movies that I loved as a child. They want more of them!

The disc's are in a very nice plastic folder. You have the opportunity to choose by disc (movie) if you want black & White or color. They are complete movies, very nicely done. Just like I remember from years past. It came quickly and very well packaged with no damage.

I grow up with Shirley Temple so movies are everything I remember.Great collection.

It was a Christmas gift. The price was right and it on time.

Mailed quickly. Much better value than the bigger Shirley collection.

Very satisfied with this Shirley Temple collection. Love the choice between colour or B&W. The images and sound are clear.

Just what I hoped for. Thank you.
