Rating: - Good music and the beautiful Alice Faye
I'm not necessarily a fan of Shirley Temple but I love Alice Faye so I own this VHS. Alice made one other film with Shirley Temple (Poor Little Rich Girl) and I own that also. She sings 2 songs in this one: "Good Night, my Love" is the better. Very few of Alice Faye's 1930s films are available on VHS and DVD. If you don't know Alice Faye, I would recommend "Lillian Russell" or "Weekend in Havana" (both are on DVD). You can also buy CDs of her music (and wonderful voice).
Rating: - A real classic
Geourgeuos Shirley Temple plays Ching-Ching a little girl who was orphaned and then left as a stowaway. The child genius Shirley is speaks fluent Chinese and makes it look easy. Alice Faye who also stars in this lovely film, also shows great acting skills and so does they very funny and entertaining Robert Young. The movie is partially set on a cruise boat which has amzing scenery which makes the movie even better. This is a wonderful movie and will bring an everlasting smile to your face!

Alice Faye turns in a great performance as Susan, another passenger on the ship, traveling with her prospective mother-in-law (Helen Westley). All kinds of misadventures and misunderstandings occur before Ching-Ching ultimately brings together Tommy and Susan. Temple displays her ... Read More
