The Little Princess (1939)
Color Version
This heart-tugging film is an adaptation of a classic children's novel and stage play by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Adorable Sara Crewe (Shirley Temple) is treated like a little princess at her boarding school. But when reports of her father's death in the Boer War surface, she is into servitude towards the other girls. The unflappable youngster steps up to the challenge of her new lot in life, and ultimately wins over the hearts of wealthy neighbors - and even Queen Victoria herself - as she refuses to give up hope that her father will one day return after all.
