"Dimples (1936) ... Shirley Temple ... 20th Century Fox (2006)",
By
This review is from: Dimples [DVD] [1936] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
20th Century Fox presents "DIMPLES" (released: 16 October 1936) (78 mins) (B&W/Color Versions) - Under William Seiter (Director), Nunnally Johnson (Producer), Darryl F. Zanuck (Producer), Nat Perrin (Screenwriter), Arthur Sheekman (Screenwriter), Bert Glennon (Cinematographer), Ted Koehler (Songwriter), Jimmy McHugh (Songwriter), Louis Silvers (Musical Direction/Supervision / Composer (Music Score), Herbert Levy (Editor), William S. Darling (Art Director), Thomas K. Little (Set Designer), Bill "Bojangles" Robinson (Choreography) - - - - - - our story line has a precocious little tot (Shirley Temple) in the New York City of 1850, must decide between life with her penniless but charming rogue of a grandfather & a wealthy old lady who loves her --- Frank Morgan, who had honed his scene stealing techniques for decades before Shirley was born, plays her grandfather, he was the rare actor who could dominate the dialogue even at the mighty tyke's expense. He is constantly entertaining to watch and adds greatly to the enjoyment of the film --- Movie trivia collectors will recognize Stepin Fetchit, unbilled as Morgan's servant --- as usual in most Shirley Temple films, she performs`What Did The Bluebird Say,' `He Was A Dandy,' and, with The Hall Johnson Choir, `Get On Board, Little Children' --- Although he does not appear in the film, the legendary Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson choreographed Shirley's tap routines; his influence is readily apparent --- -Shirley Temple is quite glorious and the musical numbers are lively and fun.
the cast includes: Shirley Temple ... Sylvia 'Dimples' Dolores Appleby Frank Morgan ... Prof. Eustace Appleby Robert Kent ... Allen Drew Helen Westley ... Mrs. Caroline Drew Astrid Allwyn ... Cleo Marsh Delma Byron ... Betty Loring Berton Churchill ... Col. Jasper Loring Paul Stanton ... Mr. St. Clair Julius Tannen ... Emery T. Hawkins John Carradine ... Richards, Swindler Billy McClain ... Rufus, Drew's Butler Jack Clifford ... Uncle Tom Betty Jean Hainey ... Topsy Arthur Aylesworth ... Pawnbroker Leonard Kibrick ... Children's Band Member (as Leonard Kibrick Warner) BIOS: 1. Shirley Temple Date of Birth: 23 April 1928 - Santa Monica, California Date of Death: Still Living If you enjoyed this film, check out 20th Century Fox present "The Shirley Temple - America's Sweetheart Collection, Vol. 1" (Heidi/Curly Top/Little Miss Broadway) (Fully Restored/Dolby Digitally Remastered) --- now in COLOR and Glorious Black and White --- In 2004, Shirley Temple teamed with Legend Films to restore, colorize and release her earliest black and white films, as well as episodes of her 1960 television series, The Shirley Temple Storybook Collection --- a patented coloring and remastering process makes her picture perfect charm more vivd than ever --- no one can resist Shirley's charm in all her heart warming films. Hats off and thanks to Barry B. Sandrew Ph.D. (Founder, COO & CTO) and his Legend Films Staff --- looking forward to more high quality releases from the vintage era of the '20s, '30s & '40s --- order your copy now from Amazon where there are plenty of copies available on DVD --- if you enjoyed this title, why not check out Legend Films where they are experts in releasing long forgotten films and treasures to the collector --- all my heroes have been cowboys! Total Time: 78 mins on DVD ~ 20th Century Fox. ~ (3/21/2006)

Dimples,a lovely and charming film,
By tanjaminge@classicfilm.zzn.com - Published on Amazon.com
Hello,I'm from Germany and an absolute Shirley Temple-worshipper. This movie is vintage -shirley, although I have to admit more on the sentimental side. If you love a good cry and lots of musicalnumbers,you will take this one.

Research Needed on Cover Material,
By CJS - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dimples [DVD] [1936] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
While this is not one of the best of Temple's efforts, the film held your interest and had excellent acting by Frank Morgan and Helen Westley. However, the material on the dvd cover indicated "See the Famous Staircase Dance with Bill Robinson". Unfortunately, that is not in this film. Bill Robinson is not in this film, although he directed some of the dance sequences. I think the people producing these products need to check their research BEFORE they develop the cover materials. While I knew Bojangles was not in this film, there could be others misled by this material.

pure vintage Temple fluff,
By Byron Kolln - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dimples [DVD] [1936] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
DIMPLES is pure vintage Shirley Temple, a fluffy musical confection about a little girl who busks on the streets while her grandfather 'The Professor' (Frank Morgan) picks the pockets of the audience.
Dimples gets taken in by the kindly - and rich - Mrs Caroline Drew (Helen Westley) before landing the plum role of Little Eva in a musical production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Temple gets to sing "Hey! What Did the Bluejay Say?" among other numbers. Co-starring Robert Kent, Delma Byron, John Carradine, Astrid Allwyn and Stepin Fetchit. This is a colourised version of the original black and white film. |
