Steve D Fairly gross even by 30s standards. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/09/23 Full Review deke p Cutest, most adorable, most talented little girl ever. How did they ever find her. Phenomenally amazing. How could anybody give this movie less than the maximum 5 stars. 1935 movie! Just a few years previous, Hollywood was making silent films! & ARTHuR TREACHER was The Butler. Saw on tv Christmas Eve 2021 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Shirley Temple is at the top of her adorable moppet game in Curly Top as she becomes the catalyst that gets her and her older sister Rochelle Hudson out of an orphanage and married to a rich man. Cinderella never had it better. Shirley and Rochelle's parents were killed in an accident and Rochelle promised them as they were dying that she and Shirley would not be separated. She even stayed on at the orphanage to cook and clean after she became an adult. Prince Charming who looks a lot like John Boles is captivated by Shirley when she sings one of the songs most identified with her Animal Crackers In My Soup. He's inherited a ton of money and is the newest member of the orphanage's board of directors. Boles brings them to his dream house with aunt Esther Dale, butler Arthur Treacher, and cook Billy Gilbert. Sounds like a dream house to me. All that's missing in this Cinderella story is a coach that turns back into a pumpkin. Even at my age I have to admit to being charmed by Shirley and her singing and dancing and all around sunny disposition. Curly Top ranks as one of her best films and holds up well for today's audience. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review andy h Heading back to simpler times, it's nice to see an era where we can watch little angels dance upon screen in loving bonds with adults without conflict or a second look. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is much older than me but it shows a time when movies were funny, sweet and romantic without nudity and bad language. When Edward calls everyone "darling" it made me melt. So romantic!!! Great music too.
