THE LITTLE PRINCESS: THE LITTLE PRINCESS, based on Frances Hodgson Burnett's popular children's book and stage play, features one of Shirley Temple's most memorable performances and her first Technicolor appearance. Temple stars as Sara Crewe, a little rich girl who is enrolled in a prestigious boarding school while her father goes off to fight in the Boer War in Africa. When Sara receives news of her father's death, the school's ruthless headmistress makes the newly penniless girl a servant and forces her to live in a cold, dark garret. Sara, who refuses to accept her father's death, escapes from the school to search for him, believing that if she can find him, her tragic days of abuse and poverty may be over. The production values are lavish in this enthralling riches-to-rags-to-riches Victorian drama, and the plot and performances are deftly handled by director Walter Lang, but it is of course the irresistibly charming Temple who ensures THE LITTLE PRINCESS a lasting place in the hearts of her fans, film lovers, and children of all ages.
Also included in the collection are the classic short films DORA'S DUNKING DONUTS, WAR BABIES, POLLY TIX IN WASHINGTON, THE PIE COVERED WAGON, WHAT'S TO DO, MERRILY YOURS, MANAGED MONEY, and PARDON MY PUPS.
