Is it Shirley Temple or isn't it?

I quite enjoyed this as something to watch in the afternoon with a cup of tea and a biscuit. This makes me sound about 110 but I'm only just over 40 LOL Nice story - I've got Skyplus so I could fast forward over the horrible singing. The Opera Star's side kick was definitely the best part of the film, she was smart and the screen lit up whenever she was in a scene.

But in the scene where all the kids come down from the Music School upstairs to listen at the feet of the 'Queen' - was that Shirley Temple or not? It looked like her to me, did they have look alikes in those days? Not something to watch if there's anything good on instead.
