Through a series of mishaps, she winds up outside the city with her aunt and other people living on or near the farm.<\/p>\n<p>The radio people race to find Rebecca in time and make her a star. Other romantic subplots involving the supporting characters occur.<\/p>\n<p>The film is innocent and cutesy, but you must be a Shirley Temple fan to enjoy it truly. If not, you might find it contrived and sentimental.<\/p>\n<p>It falls somewhere in the middle for me. While I enjoyed the Shirley Temple musical numbers and the star&#8217;s talent, the story was predictable, and no surprises were in store. It felt more like a pleasant trip down memory lane.<\/p>\n<p>The film is harmless and contains the standard Temple curls, smiles, and joyfulness. The supporting cast includes Jack Haley (The Wizard of Oz) and Gloria Stuart (Titanic-1997).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm-1938 Director Allan Dwan Starring Shirley Temple Scott&#8217;s Review #113 Reviewed July 16, 2014 Grade: B Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1938) is one of several Shirley Temple films released in the 1930s and 1940s.
