I've never seen a film she was in.
They always seemed kind of lame to me.
shareShe was a fantastic actor and was in a lot of really entertaining and well made films. You should check out some of her films. You might actually enjoy them.

Maybe give Bright Eyes a try.
shareTyped it on IMDb, saw the word "musical", closed the IMDb app in disappointment.
shareThere's a few songs, but not many in that one, I don't think. And the only one I can think off he bat you can easily skip and you won't miss anything. Seriously, the story isn't bad, and I think you'll have a few laughs. It's not really what I'd consider a musical at all.

Me neither. I've seen clips of her in documentaries and whatnot. And I could probably sing you the chorus of On the Good Ship Lollipop. But, rightly or wrongly, I associate the name Shirley Temple with everything that's insufferably twee. So I've never seen any of her films and I'm in no great rush to do so. Maybe after I'm done with... every other film ever made, I'll get around to them.
Her movies just feel so overly American to me. They got that cutesy "let's make a celebrity out if this girl" feeling where they feel more like a popularity experiment, rather than good movies.
shareYeah.
Again, I might be wrong because I've never seen any, but I just associate her with depression-era escapist wholesomeness. She looks like she belongs on a tin chocolate box from the 1880s. I'm sure she was very talented and all of that, but precocious children singing and dancing ain't my personal idea of entertainment. Seems very of its time and place to me.
But clearly she still has a following of sorts 90 years later, so maybe I'm way off-base. Still in no rush to find out though.
... everything that's insufferably twee.
"Twee" is a great word you don't hear that often. 🤣 share
