8/10
A well told story
25 December 2018
Miss Temple, at her most adorable, charms not only the Union army but the President in the age old story of a daughter's love for her father. The sets are well done, the acting ranges from acceptable to very good, the dancing sequence iconic, and the plot is as realistic as any fantasy can be. Sadly, many people try to apply today's societal and behavioral boundaries to an 80 year old film, not realizing that in another half century much of their own behavior and 2019 attitudes will offend these future critics as much or more. Watch the movie as it was intended and you might even enjoy it.
