LOVE THIS MOVIE!, 12 December 2004
10/10
Author: lisa_j_herrick from California, USA

I saw this many years ago when it was shown on TV. I have never forgotten it, and hope that someday I'll be able to collect it so I can view it again. It's been almost 30 years! I don't even remember the details of the plot except that the little girl is being raised by the old lady played by Chloris Leachman. Leachman is at her absolute, unforgettable BEST in this movie. Prior to that, I'd hardly noticed her, but in this movie she steals the show. I laughed and bawled while watching this. The scene with the little girl's pet bird still haunts me, and there are the wonderful scenes at the carnival or fair. This movie would rival any Shirley Temple movie for it's richness in plot, characters setting. It drew me in from the first minute like a good book you can't put down and can't forget.
