Trivia:
In one scene of this film, Shirley Temple's character is given a crane for her birthday. This crane continually pecked at cast and crew members, so a prop man nailed its webbed feet to the floor. Director David Butler insisted that this was not painful for the crane, and Shirley Temple later recalled that the crane never seemed to be suffering, even after the nails were removed. The local humane society learned of the incident and sent an agent to the set to investigate, but when the agent tried to get a closer look at the crane, it pecked at her, too. moreQuotes:
Helen: Good morning, Mrs. Croft.The Widow Mrs. Eliza Croft: Good morning, Star. Is Captain January with you today?
Helen: No, mam.
The Widow Mrs. Eliza Croft: Well, do tell the dear captain that I asked after him. Don't forget, now.
Helen: I will. I mean, I won't.

Maybe the best all-around movie of Shirley's career in terms of the acting of the entire ensemble and a well-constructed script. Shirley tugs at your heartstrings, of course, but the story never strikes a false note. And some of the scenes of the lighthouse are magnificent. Watch this one with the entire family.
