Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

bkoganbing Bright Eyes became the signature film for Shirley Temple as America's favorite moppet launched the Good Ship Lollipop and that song was the launching of her. It wasn't long after that the little girl became the number one seller of movie tickets in the Great Depression.Shirley lives with her mother Lois Wilson who is a live-in maid for Dorothy Christy and Theodore Von Eltz and their hellion brat of a daughter Jane Withers. Wilson is the widow of an aviator and the pilots have all made her a kind of mascot. Most of all James Dunn who was her father's best friend and her godfather. The outlook is grim for our plucky little moppet when mom is killed in a traffic accident. Shirley becomes a pawn in a great scheme for Von Eltz and Christy to get their cranky uncle Charles Sellon's money because he's always liked her. Still pluck and luck rule the day in the end.I really did love Jane Withers who had America hating her because she was so mean to Shirley. That scene at the very end when Withers finally got what was coming to her was priceless.Bright Eyes gave Shirley Temple her signature song On The Good Ship Lollipop which millions of stage mothers taught their daughters in the hopes the kid would be discovered as the next Shirley Temple. As a lad I remember hearing it on a 78 record sung by Rosemary Clooney though.Bright Eyes holds up very well even after over 80 years. It's still a nice voyage.

SnoopyStyle Shirley Blake (Shirley Temple) lost her pilot father in a crash. She likes to hang out at the airport with her godfather Loop Merritt and all of their friends. Her mother Mary is a live-in maid working for the Smythes. Mrs. Smythe disapproves of her flyboy friends and plans to fire her after Christmas. The family hates cranky uncle Ned Smith but Mr. Smythe hopes to get the inheritance. The only person Ned likes is Shirley whom he calls Bright Eyes. Mary is killed by a car and Ned wants to adopt Shirley. This sets up a legal battle for the little girl between the Smythes and Loop.This has the super cute and spunky Shirley Temple who delivers the song On the Good Ship Lollipop. She's a million watts light bulb. The rest of them are perfectly fine although the other girl Joy is awkwardly bratty. In the end, the battle is between two people who both love Shirley and there is limited drama in the lack of danger. That may be why a dangerous situation had to be manufactured.

Michael O'Keefe Hollywood's smallest, biggest star Shirley Temple plays an orphan caught up in a custody battle. She worships a daredevil pilot(James Dunn)and through the course of the movie gets the chance to sing and make immortal "On the Good Ship Lollipop". Also in the steadfast cast are: Jane Darwell, Judith Allen, Charles Sellon and probably the show stealer Jane Withers. Withers is the perfect rich brat to be mean to the poor little orphan(Temple). One of the better projects of the busy little "curly top".

Ron Oliver Little BRIGHT EYES wins the hearts & changes the lives of a lonely aviator and a cranky old coot.This movie was a very big hit for Shirley Temple, who certainly deserved all the attention: she is adorable. Although the film tends to lag into melodramatics during the final half hour, Shirley brightens everything considerably when she appears. With her undeniable talent & elfin smile, it's easy to see why she became Hollywood's top box office star.However, the Mighty Mite does have competition. Jane Withers is on hand as the Ultimate Brat, a dreadful child who likes to play with imaginary machine guns and amputate body parts off of dolls. Although she looks alarmingly like OUR GANG's Alfalfa in drag, Withers is wonderful and the perfect antidote for those who may find Miss Temple a tad bit icky sticky. To say that Miss Withers practically plunders the picture from The Moppet is high praise, indeed.James Dunn appeared in four films with Shirley in 1934; in BRIGHT EYES he has his finest scenes with her. As her dead father's best buddy, Dunn is quite touching in his devotion to the child. Elderly character actor Charles Sellon has some funny scenes as a most obstreperous old blister. His contempt for Miss Withers is a joy to behold.Jane Darwell was always a welcome addition to any cast; here she plays a lovable Irish cook. Brandon Hurst as her prim English butler husband, Judith Allen as Dunn's love interest, Lois Wilson as Shirley's doomed mother, and Theodore von Eltz & Dorothy Christy as Withers' pestilential parents all add to the movie's enjoyment.Shirley sings what was to become her signature song - ‘On The Good Ship Lollipop' - and it is a highlight of the film. Many first time viewers, having heard the song all their lives, may be surprised to learn it's about a plane, not a boat - in this case, from American Airlines.
