Critic Reviews for The Little Colonel

Shirley Temple's pictures all tend to be pretty much the same... The Little Colonel doesn't vary much from formula except that this time we have Shirley Temple in technicolor.

Dig past the regrettable signs of the time, and you will find a sparkling entertainment.
