Bright Eyes - 5 of 10
Songs list - On the Good Ship, Lollypop
OARVHS 12/19/07

Shirley Temple vehicle that's not that great. but it's better than Footloose or Beaches. the song is okay, not special or spectacular, merely representative of the songs Temple would sing. Much more appropriate as a great song she sang would be her moving rendition of Auld Lang Syne in Wee Willie Winkie, but I suppose this song is more associated with her.

Bright Eyes, like virtually every Temple film, is about finding a sugar daddy to care for the orphaned (or soon to be orphaned Temple) so that she doesn't have to worry about the Depression.

Shirley's mom is a maid for a rich family, they have a spoiled little girl a year or two older than Shirley and a crotchety, rich old grandfather that doesn't like his family. Shirley's father was an aviator who recently died. She's sort of the defacto mascot of all the pilots at the airfield, but especially to her godfather and father's best friend. Her mother is soon killed in an automobile accident and that eventually results in a custudy battle between the crotchety rich grandfather and the godfather. But never fear all will work out right in the end.
