Rating:  - Every classic movies by Fox
These classic movies are in such great shape, that I really think most of the movie companies are aware of the treasures they have in their vaults. Fox with Shirley Temple are examples. Any fan of old movies will appreciate this and any other set of Temple movies for the collection. And to Amazon having sales at times, I can order these collections with the high shipping rates to have sent to Europe anyway, I live in Switzerland. Thank you Amazon.
Rating:  - A pleasant set for Shirley fans
I prefer to watch my Shirley Temple movies in black and white, the way they were intended, so the lack of colourization doesn't bother me too much (it would have been interesting to see, especially with the nice colourization process that was used in the previous sets, but it's not essential). I was pretty impressed with the quality of the restorations here, in any case. Stowaway had a little bit of grain or dirt at the beginning, but the rest of the print seemed nice and clear. Wee Willie Winkie and Young People were likewise very nicely restored.
I watched the tinted version of Wee Willie Winkie (it just happened to be the side of the disc I set into the player). The sepia was nice... but I was a little thrown by the cyan tinting for the nighttime scenes! All in all, though, this was probably the best film of the bunch. The story was stronger than that of the usual Temple vehicle, and the supporting characters were good.
Stowaway is pure Shirley Temple, one of the four trademark films she made in 1936 (the others being Captain January, The Poor Little Rich Girl, and Dimples). The racist overtones and over-the-top characterizations of the Chinese may make some people uncomfortable. But it was the 1930s after all, and political correctness hadn't yet come into play. There are still some great musical numbers, though, and watching Shirley spout proverbs like a little fortune cookie is always amusing.
Young People is the weakest of the set. You can't ... Read More
Rating: - Shirley Temple Sweetheart Collection:Volume 6
If you are a die hard Shirley Temple fan this volume in the Sweetheart series is a collectors dream. The quality of the dvds is outstanding. Shirley was never cuter than in "The Stowaway". Yep, this is a keeper!
Rating: - Happy, but a little bit disappointed
I love Shirley Temple. I was sooo excited when this came out. I went right out the day it was released and bought it. I unwrapped them and looked at the back of each movie. I was actually very disappointed that there weren't any color versions. Now, I know that they weren't originally made in color, but the color versions looked great. Fox was doing great releasing the color and black and white versions in the earlier dvds. I actually have the vhs color version of Stowaway. I was going to give it away once I got the dvd. But now I don't have a color version so I am going to have to keep it. :(
Keep the color versions FOX!!!!
Rating:  - No Color - No Buy
I've bought every Shirley Collection Vol. 1-5 so far up until this one. I will NOT buy this current Vol. 6 because it's NOT COLORIZED!!! I would only buy this if it were in it's beautiful color version the way the previous releases were. All of the previous color versions have looked great and I was looking forward to completing my COLOR Shirley collection, but Fox has pulled the color rug from under me, releasing now only the b/w drab dull and extremely dated looking Shirleys. Without the color Shirley Fox is going to be without my green.
