Synopsis:
When her father, Captain Crewe, goes off to fight in the Boer War, young Sara Crewe is placed into the care of Amanda Minchin, the head of an exclusive private school for girls. Sara lives a wonderful life of a privileged child and is quite happy in her surroundings. When her father is listed as missing in action however, her life goes from one of plenty to that of a poor house maid. Mrs. Minchin agrees to keep her on at the school, but in the absence of her tuition payments, she has to work for her keep. She is soon cleaning out the fireplace and scrubbing floors and is dubbed the little princess by her former schoolmates. She also refuses to accept that her father is dead and prowls the hospitals in the hope of locating him. Luck – and Royal intervention – assist her in her quest.
Reviews:
“This movie serves as an excellent example of several things: movies like this just aren’t made any more. Unfortunately, they can’t be – people would say it was too corny. In the movie, Shirley portrays a child not only with unshakable hope but patience, manners, politeness and kindness in the face of terrible adversity, with only a couple of cracks in her steadfastness. She meets Queen Victoria. Who would believe that a child under the duress that she suffers could be so gracious? Who would believe that, being a pauper, she could meet the Queen of England? Today’s movie child star would have filled the air with sassiness and expletives under the same situation. But Shirley/Sarah doesn’t, and that’s a reason that I really like this movie – it shows someone who tries to make the best of a bad situation, and never gives up hope.
I also believe that the movie is an accurate portrayal of the life and times of the turn of the century, as it was made only 40 years after the Boer War. I think that Victorian England was captured well in this movie; after all, we do a pretty good job of displaying the 1960s on film these days.
Overall, though, it is Shirley Temple at her singing/dancing/acting best in this movie, and she does a wonderful job from start to finish.”

La H A apparently you are not aware Captain Crew that I conduct one of the most dignified and exclusive schools in London oh yes yes so I understood that’s precisely the reason why I brought my daughter to you I would not have gathered that from your actions really
Now I’m not entirely to blame you see Sarah and I have only just arrived from India Sarah’s lived there practically all her life we’d know more than got here when I learned that my regiment was to leave at once for South Africa so we had to act hurriedly but I wrote you
Explaining that I do not take young ladies without an interview and the most impeccable references I wrote to also that at the moment I had no vacant rooms well in that case daddy we might as well move on this is a bit awkward you see your letter never reached me and
I’m afraid it never occurred to me that any school wouldn’t welcome my little Sarah obviously if it’s a question of my social standing my father was to George crew you’ve heard of him perhaps oh that really and the best financial references I could give you would be the directors
Of the South African holding Syndicate I’m the principal stockholder in The Syndicate my brother Captain Crew our professor of elocution and Dramatics how you do Charmed I’m sure I say isn’t the a Clips D and Minds one of your Holdings one of the most important of course of
Course of course I’m sorry to appear casual Miss menion but the situation is quite distressing I sailed an hour from the East India docks I expect you just have to take me to Africa with you daddy oh no and what would a little girl like you do
In Africa forgive me Captain Crew I fear I’ve been overzealous the reputation of my school you know one has to be so cautious but after this interview I can see at a glance such a dear little child it would be a pleasure to have her with
Us does that mean I’ve got to stay Yes dear you to have that privilege you and your Little Pony sh up dear Little Pony this is made out of the school will it be enough for the moment oh quite I should say it would why it’s stupendous I bet your pardon but haven’t
I seen you somewhere before it’s quite possible my dear Captain your face is most familiar were you ever on the stage I seem to associate you with one of the old music hall music hall my brother on stage ridiculous ridiculous indeed you’re quite right and now shall we look at little Sarah’s
Rooms just a moment Miss Rose this is Miss Rose one of my most capable teachers Captain Crew has done us the honor of placing his little daughter Sarah with us how do you do Miss Rose how do you do Captain Crew we shall do everything we can to make your
Little girl happy I’m sure you will children we have a new pupil Sarah crew say how do you do to her how do you do I’m very well thank you the Jesse that will do you may proceed Miss Rose children she’s just like a little princess isn’t
She that’s what she is a princess and I expect now some people are around here won’t think they’re so smart oh won’t they wait and see princess indeed fortunately the rooms have just been papered and the fireplace has an excellent draft but I thought you didn’t
Have any rooms well I didn’t know then what a dear little girl was coming but why does that make more rooms Daddy lady bent’s little daughters only recently vacated the rooms our best Suite of course H do you think you could brighten it up a bit I’d like it made as
Gay as possible I brought a few things from India but perhaps you could buy whatever else is necessary with pleasure Captain Crew I’d I a ride every afternoon if the weather’s all right of course fortunately we have a splendid riding master I expect you think I’m completely spoiling the child and no
Doubt you’re right but actually it’s good for her she’s much too inclined to bury her little nose in a book and keep it there until someone lures her out of it you see must mention Sarah has no mother and we’ve never been separated for more than a few days how
Touchy this is going to be very hard for her have no fear Captain Crew I’m a mother to all my little girls and now I’ll leave you to your fair world how much longer have we got daddy only a few minutes darling you’re learning Me by heart
