Shirley will make you H-A-double P-Y

This is one of Shirley's greatest films she ever made. In this movie you see
all of that talent shine through with a great cast, sweet music, and a
lovable story you can't go wrong with this Temple treasure.

In this film Shirley becomes a little lost girl after wandering away from
her care-giver and by luck runs into Robert Young who becomes quickly
charmed by little Shirley who speaks fluent Chinese and knows dozens of
Chinese proverbs, When, Shirley accidently wanders onto Young's ship and
quickly becomes a Stowaway making another friend Faye who returns her to her
friend Young-- both Young and Faye fall in love with Shirley and un-knowly
with eachother. When they learn Shirley must be sent to orphanage both are
eager to adopt the Young girl only problem-- it has to be a married couple.
So, both of them get married to be a "marriage in name only" but, will
divorce when they arrive back in the states-- but things don't go as planned
when a well-meaning judge and Shirley team up-together to save the couple.

A great Temple film featuring two of her hits "You Got To Smile To Be H-A-
double-P-Y" and "Goodnight, My Love" this movie includes Shirley doing an
impressive Astaire imitation and of course her precious nature. Shirley is
adorable in this film and quickly you fall in love with her as the Chinese
missionary orphan. Young also does a fabulous job as the instant father who
is changed for the better because of Shirley. Faye also has a beautiful
voice that you get the chance to hear in "Good-night My Love."

All in all this movie will make you H-A- double P-Y.

A Fantastic Fun Movie

I absolutely love this movie. It is heartwarming! Shirleys talent shines in this movie.

one of Shirley Temple's best

STOWAWAY is one of Shirley Temple's best films, from her middle years with Twentieth Century-Fox. She gets to speak in another language and impresses with her impersonation skills.

She plays Ching-Ching, the enchanting young ward of two Chinese missionaries who are killed. Ching-Ching is smuggled away to Shanghai by the faithful Sun-Lo (Philip Ahn), only to get mixed up with carefree playboy Tommy Randall (Robert Young) after taking refuge in the trunk of his car. The car is loaded into the cargo of a luxurious ocean liner, of which Tommy is a passenger. Thus, Ching-Ching becomes the 'stowaway' of the title.

Alice Faye turns in a great performance as Susan, another passenger on the ship, traveling with her prospective mother-in-law (Helen Westley). All kinds of misadventures and misunderstandings occur before Ching-Ching ultimately brings together Tommy and Susan. Temple displays her uncanny skill for impersonation with her delightful takes on Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor and Ginger Rogers dancing with Fred Astaire!

Shirley Temple sings "Goodnight My Love", "You Gotta S.M.I.L.E." and "That's What I Want for Christmas" and Alice Faye performs "One Never Knows". Truly a delightful film. This is the colourised edition, but do yourself a favour and turn down the colour setting on your TV - and watch the film as it was originally intended to be screened.

A real classic

Geourgeuos Shirley Temple plays Ching-Ching a little girl who was orphaned and then left as a stowaway. The child genius Shirley is speaks fluent Chinese and makes it look easy. Alice Faye who also stars in this lovely film, also shows great acting skills and so does they very funny and entertaining Robert Young. The movie is partially set on a cruise boat which has amzing scenery which makes the movie even better. This is a wonderful movie and will bring an everlasting smile to your face!

Good music and the beautiful Alice Faye

I'm not necessarily a fan of Shirley Temple but I love Alice Faye so I own this VHS. Alice made one other film with Shirley Temple (Poor Little Rich Girl) and I own that also. She sings 2 songs in this one: "Good Night, my Love" is the better. Very few of Alice Faye's 1930s films are available on VHS and DVD. If you don't know Alice Faye, I would recommend "Lillian Russell" or "Weekend in Havana" (both are on DVD). You can also buy CDs of her music (and wonderful voice).
