      ashley h Kathleen is a disappointing film. It is about an adorable charmer begins vying with her father's new girlfriend for her daddy's attention. Shirley Temples and Herbert Marshall give horrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Harold S. Bucquet did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member On of my favorite Temple saves!
