Customer Reviews

Sound quality not what it should be
I own all 3 of these Shirley Temple sets that have been released so far. The sound quality seems to be going downhill...

All 3 of the DVDs in Volume One were okay. I was very pleased with that set. In Volume Two, I noticed that the sound quality in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm was not that great (quiet voices and comparatively loud music). In this last volume, the sound was questionable in The Littlest Rebel... but it was atrocious in Dimples. It sounded as if all the actors were talking into pillows. I have watched these films on VHS and the sound is fine... perhaps something went wrong when they were put onto DVD.

I will say, however, that I absolutely love The Littlest Rebel and The Little Colonel. They're probably my favourite Shirley Temple movies, so to find them both in Volume Three was great. I was worried about The Little Colonel, though. The last scene was originally shot in Technicolor; however, in Fox's last VHS release of the movie (colourized), they cut the scene! I was so glad to see that the lovely "pink party" scene was included in this version... it's wonderful to see such an early example of colour in the movies.

As with the other two sets, the colourization of the black and white films is good (much better than previous attempts). However, the sound quality really annoyed me. Had I known it would be so bad, I would have just skipped Dimples and purchased the other two DVDs separately.

Not Only The Greatest Child Actress. But The Greatest Actress Ever.
I just finished watching this volume 3 collection and want to wholeheartedly endorse it.
I had read some reviews that the picture quality and sound was not so good and was doubtful if I should buy it, but bought it all the same as I had enjoyed the other two volumes so much.
Well I was not disappointed at all. The sound quality was very good. Try listning to it on the stereo option on the on-screen menu.
These are three of her very best films and you will laugh and enjoy them so much.
My wife never ever heard of Shirley Temple till 2006 when I introduced her to Shirley's films and now we both are big fans and look forward to these re-releases.
'The Little Colonel' and 'The littlest Rebel' both have the excellent Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson acting and dancing in fine form with Shirley.
Bill worked out the dance routines in all these three pictures but only stars in the above mentioned two.

No one grabs my attention like Shirley. It's a whole combination of things like her smile and laughter, her dancing and mannerisms and she cry's so realistic that you would think she is really upset (but no it's just our Shirley doing her stuff, excellent as useual).
Shirlet Temple is a gale of fresh air in a very stale and cynical world and her films will restore hope and confidence to you in the human race.
Why not check out her official web site and send her an e-mail. She's still going strong.

Shirley Temple - America's Sweetheart Collection, Vol. 3
The best! Includes the extraordinary genius of Bill "Bogangles" Robinson in "Colonel & Rebel." These are the only two movies where he appeared with Temple. It doesn't get any better. Be still my heart!
