Rating: 1 stars
Summary: only one!
Review: The best part of this film was the scene in which she gets knocked down by a goat! LOL it was funny, that's worth a star

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CLASSIC TEMPLE
Review: The classic European tale, done up vehicle for Shirley is an excellent choice for Temple, allowing for a couple of musical routines done as dream sequences. Heidi is an orphan who warms the heart of her bitter grandfather (Jean Hersholt) who has not spoken since his son ran away with a girl. Marcia Mae Jones is touching as the invalid whom Heidi befriends,and Mary Nash is the nasty governess. Mady Christians plays Aunt DeDe, the cruel aunt. Children will love this movie and it's available colorized.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good!
Review: There are many filmed versions based on the Johanna Spyri book Heidi but so far this Shirley Temple one is the only one I have seen and I really liked it and I think Shirley was really good as Heidi and I recommend this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Grandfather! Grandfather!
Review: There are many memorable scenes in this movie about the little orphan who goes to live with her grandfather in the alps; my favorite is the one where Heidi is abducted by her meanie aunt. As they drive away in a horse sleigh, Heidi turns around and sees her beloved grandfather coming to rescue her. She cries, "Grandfather! Grandfather!" as only Shirley/Heidi can. What a little actress. She was so good in this film.

Jean Hersholt as her troubled, recluse grandfather is wonderfully crusty and loveable. When he walks into the church to surprise Heidi, grab your hankie. Who wouldn't want to climb that mountain with Goat Peter and frolic in the wildflowers like Heidi? This is a heartwarming movie the whole family will enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GRANDFATHER!!!
Review: this is a great flick....if you can handle black and white.

i think ANY shirley temple (or any AMC movie, for that matter) movie is great! :)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: colourisation terrible
Review: This is a wonderful story and a lovely movie for the family. However I would have purchased the b&w version over this. They did a rotten job with the colours. Most of the cast's lips (except the women) are the same colour as their face (flesh-coloured) which makes it look as if they don't have lips at all! This is particularly evident with the Butler & Heidi. If you can deal with this annoyance go ahead and buy the film. Otherwise look for the black & white.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet!
Review: This is the Shirley Temple version of Heidi and I think it's a sweet movie, Shirley was great as Heidi. The DVD has the option of watching the movie in black and white or computer colorised but I prefer the black and white. BTW: I believe it was actually the 1968 remake of Heidi that is famous for the football disaster of November 17, 1968 in which that movie pre-empted the Jets/Raiders game and and made football fans miss the rest of the game!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Story
Review: This movie is great! It is not only a beautiful story of a love between children and their grandparents, but one of acceptance
and dermination! I could relate so much to Clara who was in a wheelchair because of back problems. Shirley gave her such unconditional love and courage! I know if everybody had a little girl with such compassion they could reach their goals too! A beautiful movie!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: One of my two favorites.
Review: This movie is hard to follow if you've read the book, may be even if you haven't. Still a pretty good movie, now more famous for its place in NFL football lore. Funny thing was that I had come in to get ready to watch the movie and my dad, had the game on. I came in early enough to have gotten sucked into the drama of the game. I can't tell you how nuts my dad got when they switched to the movie. You just had to be there.

I liked this movie as a kid, but my kids don't seem to care for it?. I have young sons and daughters and they just don't care for Shirley Temple movies. I view them a a glimse of an era long gone.
