The Adorable Anne Shirley
11 November 2023
60 minute thrill ride starring the adorable Anne Shirley packed with comedy, surprises, and a magnificent car chase. It even has Jiu-Jitsu! Never jump on the back of someone who knows Jiu-Jitsu!

A dog walker gets a job at a newspaper by telling lies and it gets him into all kinds of hot water. And of course he becomes smitten with Anne Shirley because everybody becomes smitten with Anne Shirley, including and especially me! That's why I call her The Adorable Anne Shirley. She had a screen innocence and adorability rivaled only by the great Judy Garland and the great Shirley Temple.

This movie moves fast. I don't like slow moving movies (I'm looking at you Stanley Kubrick!) and this is never slow. It's always moving forward, forward, forward. It's relentless. And it moves faster and faster as it moves along. This is a gem.

And the ending is wonderfully fun and adorable.
