Shirley Temple delights in this heart-rending treasure as Shirley Blake, the adorable mascot of a group of aviators. Although she is the subject of a custody battle among a curmudgeonly uncle, a kindly pilot and a high-society woman, Shirley never loses her spirit – or her sense of humor – in this classic film that features a lineup of beloved musical numbers, including “The Good Ship Lollipop.”

Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)

Shirley Temple is seen more than in previous pictures, which is a good thing, as people come to see her. James Dunn, the aviator, seems to be the best cinema papa or god-papa she has acquired.

One shudders to think what Bright Eyes would be like if it didn't have Shirley Temple to take the curse off.

The first movie Shirley Temple got top billing.

This "Good Ship Lollipop" is sweet, but sad, too.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Shirley's mother dies in a car accident halfway through the film. Plus, Joy and her parents are mean and manipulative toward her. Shirley remains happy despite losing both parents, which may be confusing to kids. Shirley also hitchhikes and runs around by herself in adult places, like airports and down streets.
