Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine The rest of the cast is mediocre and the story flat and stale. Shirley Temple is still cute... Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine The adult parts just slapped together... and everything rushed through to make way for the next Temple picture, and to keep Shirley, who is getting bigger every minute, in front of the camera and her public.
