What Bright Eyes Is About
Shirley's mother works for a wealthy family, and when her mother dies the girl is left with nowhere to go. The household's crotchety rich uncle insists she stay on, but the rest of the family does not want her. Her godfather is an aviator and he sets about trying to take her in. The matter ends up in court. David Butler's film is known as the first production written specifically for Shirley Temple, and the song "On the Good Ship Lollipop" comes from it. Temple was six, and the following year she was the top box office draw in America. Seen from now the sentiment is laid on heavily; it is often said that this was exactly what audiences wanted in the Depression years.
