I found this Shirley Temple film delightful. It would not meet the current climate's cancel police nor pass any political correctness test, but Shirley Temple actually got first billing over the handsome Randolph Scott in this film about the Canadian westward movement and the Royal Mounties battle with the first peoples.
Mounties lead by Randolph Scott come upon an native raid and rescue the only survivor, a small girl named Sue. Sue, who is now orphaned, is brought back to the Mounties' station where she lives with Randolph Scott, gets jealous of a visiting woman who attracts his attention and makes friends with Little Chief who is left there by his father to guarantee his word and learn the ways of the white man.
The interaction between Sue and Little Chief are delightful, he teachers her to ride a pony and she puts up with him treating her like a little squaw...including walking behind the Chief!
No it is not politically correct but it speaks of a different time. Shirley is adorable and Randolph Scott is handsome in this film that does not try to do too much.
Sweet and one of the better Shirley Temple films...I highly recommend it if you are a fan and it was wonderful to watch for the anniversary of her birthday!
