Summary: This is NOT the Shirley Temple "Heidi" !
Review: According to Marengo Films own website... This DVD package does contain the 1939 "Little Princess" with Shirley Temple, but unbelievably, this two movie "bargain" actually contains a 1968 version of "Heidi" starring Maximillian Schell and an unnamed, unknown girl playing Heidi. NOT Shirley Temple! I was really looking forward to buying this DVD for a friend's birthday who specifically asked for Shirley Temple movies on DVD. What a huge disappointment! Why are there so few Shirley Temple movies on DVD? Amazing!

Summary: Two Great Movies
Review: Having read two of the reviews where this DVD was panned I felt after watching it that the reviews were unfair and misleading. The box actually says Heidi is the Maximillian Schell version and not the Shirley Temple version... on the front and the back! As to the films, the story of a little girl's search for her father and her struggle aginst poverty is a lovely story. Arthur Treacher is a treat to watch as he dances with Shirley Temple in this fantastic story. Heidi is much the same, a treat for any child, especially young girls. The prints from this studio are first rate, the sound is perfect. I have to wonder about the motivation of the person who panned this disk. For the price this is a great value and I am very pleased and I am sure you will be too.

Summary: Heidi is not Shirley Temple
Review: I was extremely disappointed to find that even though this DVD is billed as Shirley Temple that she is only in The Little Princess and not Heidi on the same DVD. Clearly mislabeling and maybe even worse. The Heidi version is from the 1960's and is an unknown Heidi.

Summary: where's shirley? quality poor
Review: I was surprised to see that Shirley Temple is not the star in Heidi. I feel that I was mislead. Also, the quality is not up to par. I would spend the extra money and buy the studio release of these films.

Summary: Dishonest/misleading
Review: It is VERY dishonest to present the DVD is such a way as to allow the buyer to think they are getting two Shirley Temple classics. Why would anyone package these two movies together other than to mislead the buyer. The picture on the DVD cover shown on Amazon is not what I received.
This item should be pulled from Amazon.

Summary: MARENGO ANSWERS ITS CRITICS
Review: MARENGO FILMS WAS THE FIRST COMPANY TO OFFER TWO FILMS ON DVD FOR THE PRICE OF ONE AT THE ONSET OF DVD SEVEN YEARS AGO... EVERYONE HAS COPIED US... WHICH IS A BOON FOR THE CONSUMER. THE CURRENT COVER AND THE OLDER COVER WHICH IT REPLACED BOTH REFLECT THAT THIS HEIDI STARS MAX SCHELL. WE HAD NO INTENTION OF CHEATING OUR CUSTOMERS... WE HAD NO CLUE A "BONUS" FILM WOULD BE A "PROBLEM"... OUR CONCEPT ON ALL OF OUR MOVIES IS... TWO GREAT MOVIES FOR THE PRICE OF "ONE"... I.E. INSTEAD OF SOME "EXTRAS" WITH US YOU GET... A SECOND FILM... DOES THIS COVER SAY SHIRLEY TEMPLE DOUBLE FEATURE? NO... IT SAYS BONUS FEATURE - HEIDI... STARRING MAX SCHELL... AND AS TO QUALITY... THIS IS THE VERY BEST PRINT OF THE LITTLE PRINCESS IN THE WORLD AND QUITE POSSIBLY THE VERY BEST PRINT OF THIS HEIDI IN THE WORLD. BUY IT AND SEE... UNLIKE MANY COMPANIES WHO CARE NOT A WIT ABOUT QUALITY... WE DO... WE GUARANTEE THEY ARE SUPERB... ALWAYS HAVE... AND ALWAYS WILL... JEEEZE... CRAIG COSGRAY, PRESIDENT, MARENGO FILMS

Summary: Best Version of This Film Ever!
Review: The Little Princess is one of my all time favorite movies, I have seen it on AMC and other TV stations over the years. I was so impressed by the quality of this film released by Marengo Films!

Summary: Not what you Think !
Review: This is not the Heidi with Shirley Temple in it !!! Don't' be misled to think both of these movies are Shirley Temple because they aren't. I feel it's kind of misleading. It would be one thing if it said Batman or something, but most people know Shirley Temple made a Heidi movie and assume thats what it is. Well it's not. Also the quality of this DVD is very poor, and no it's not my DVD player or TV. Lesson learned the hard way I guess.

Summary: Two Great Family Films
Review: This is the absolute best print of The Little Princess staring Shirley Temple. The print of Heidi is also superb. The Heidi stars Maximilian Schell and Jene Simmons. Both films are superb family entertainment. A bargain of two films for the price of one and a well done effort by Marengo Films.

Summary: Shirley Never Looked So Good!
