Rating: - Not typical Shirley Temple in Certain Respects
If you feel silly watching Shirley Temple films without a child, watch this one. Jack Haley and the wonderful and sexy Alice Faye are superb. There's a dark aspect with one character stalking Shirley (rather unsettling). Everyone is terrific in the film and I believe it to be Shirley Temple's best movie. I agree with one reviewer about the cruel dispatching of the nurse Collins. It was either the result of clumsy writing or editing. Otherwise this is one enjoyable, bouncy film.
Rating: - one of Temple's best
THE POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL is one of Shirley Temple's most delightful offerings. She plays Barbara Barry, the daughter of a rich soap manufacturer (Michael Whalen). While being taken off to boarding school, her governess is run down by a car and in the confusion Barbara wanders off into the city. Taking on the persona of her favourite storybook character Betsy Ware, she moves in with a pair of vaudeville hoofers (Alice Faye, Jack Haley) and joins their act. Hilarity ensues when the troupe is employed by a rival soap company, and Barbara's other life is exposed.
Rating: - The Best Shirley Temple Film EVER
This in my opinon is a hidden Temple gem and even if your not a Temple fan and enjoy watching movies with your kids or grandchildren this one to rent or buy.
A good cast and a happy ending make this movie worth buying. Of course, there is a lot of cute music, cheerful dances, and lovable moments. The cast in this one is perfectly cast and I fell in love with Shirley's widower father--for you feel that on-screen chemistry that many of hollywood's leading men had with little Shirley. Shirley's "debut" dad does a great job and Hayley does a good job as what becomes Shirley's foster dad. ... Read More

Shirley Temple is one of the greatest child stars in the world, her popularity soaring during the Depression era, and beloved still today. She was a real prodigy and phenomena, the likes of which we'll never see again -- bona fide adorable with thousand watt personality and a confidence and self-reliance that was never obnoxious. In her films, adults are usually conveniently dispatched to allow her an autonomy and series of adventures that makes her a great child heroine for children; invariably she also sets the adult world straight.
"Poor Little Rich Girl" is one of her best films, ... Read More
Rating: - poor little rich girl rich in talent & music
This is one of my favorites, not only an engaging storyline but great music engaging charictors & great dance number at the end. This has great songs like you gotta eat your spinach baby & Oh my goodness.
