27 of the 31 Day Film Challenge: A film from your childhood.
Sunday
mornings growing up meant watching old movies on channel 44. They would always show a Shirley Temple movie and although she wasn't my favourite I did enjoy Walter Lang’s The Little Princess (1939). I especially
liked the scene where Temple as Sara Crewe, reduced to working as a servant in the school and living in a garret, wakes up one morning to discover that her room has been completely decorated and the fireplace lit courtesy of Cesar Romero, playing an Indian servant
named Ram Dass, and the tearful ending where she’s reunited with her missing
father and meets Queen Victoria. Hail Britannia.
