Movie Review

Movie Title: Captain January. Musical. For kids and other Shirley Temple fans. Colored & Black and White version. Rated G. Shirley Temple sings and dances herself right into your heart. No wonderful why she was so popular back in the 1930's. Ms. Temple plays, Star, a mop-headed orphan who contently lives with, Captain January, known as Cap. Cap is a kind-hearted lighthouse keeper who fished Star out of the sea a long time ago. But he hasn't enrolled Star in school. Instead, the little girl hangs out with sailors. The town's new truant officer Ms. Morgan, a spoiled-sport (I say this tongue and cheek), decides Star needs to go to school. Star finally goes, but Ms. Morgan tries to get her removed from Captain January anyway when he loses his job.
