Decent film with some inventive scenes, and values that still echo today.

Like all Shirley Temple stories, Heidi traces the reaction of human wickedness to the Temple dimples; unlike many of them, it has a craftsmanlike dramatic structure.

This classic children's film, expertly directed by Allan Dwan, is wonderfully entertaining, with moppet Temple at her adorable best.

It's depressing material, but Temple's universal warmth and appeal -- as well as Dwan's skill -- make it work.

It's far from being a personal work, but as always with Dwan, it's the best movie imaginable from the limited material at hand.
