After the war, southern beauty Elizabeth Lloyd runs away to marry Yankee Jack Sherman. Her father, a Confederate Colonel during the Civil War, stops speaking to his daughter, warning him never to speak to her again. Several years pass and Elizabeth returns to her hometown with her husband and their beautiful daughter (Shirley Temple). The little girl charms and wins over her tough grandfather, and tries to patch things up between the colonel and her mother. Beautiful musical numbers, top-notch entertainment for the whole family. Contains the scene where Shirley Temple dances on the stairs with Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. At the time, it was forbidden for a black person to dance with a white woman, but this scene was allowed because it involved a child. This classic scene was an "opening" to end the racism that was common in films at the time.
📚 The film is based on the novel of the same name by Annie Fellows Johnston.
