Movie Review: Heidi with Shirley Temple (1937)

Shirley Temple is so talented, everything she does turns out well.  However this is not my favorite Heidi.  I don't like the acting out what they are reading in the books, this is just and excuse to she Temple's talents, but gets too far away from the story.  However the story of a little girl warming her grandfather's heart, and creating a change in both their lives for the better.  However, in this version the aunt is the villain, she and the nurse.  They steal Heidi away to the city, where she lives with Clara who cannot walk.  Heidi helps Clara get over her illness.  However getting back with grandfather is not that easy.  The nurse steal Heidi to sell to gypsies.  Grandfather rescues her.  The story concludes with Clara visiting Heidi in the mountains, and being able to run as fast as Heidi.
