Wow, Frank Nugent really pans the Princess. I think it an adorable film with Shirley really talented.
I don't know about that. I would call it a qualified panning at worst.
With any other child on earth, it is amazing to reflect, "The Little Princess" would stand out as one of the most glaring exhibits of pure hokum in screen history; with Mistress Temple, it may very well be, as Mr. Zanuck unflinchingly proclaims, the greatest picture with which Mr. Zanuck has ever been associated. And that would be greatness indeed.
