The Blue Bird
The Blue Bird is a 1940 movie. It's directed by Walter Lang and stars Shirley Temple, Spring Byington, and Nigel Bruce. The movie takes place during the Christmas season. I watched this looking for movies I hadn't seen that take place around Christmas. This is a simple, sappy story, and I can't imagine who would like it except for Shirley Temple fans. I'm not one of those people. .

I like a couple of Shirley Temple movies. Heidi and The Little Princess are two that I enjoy, but I don't think I've heard about this one.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of it either. There may be a reason it's so little known even with Temple having been such a popular figure... But I'm a poor judge of her movies.
DeleteAargh, I think not.... Valerie
ReplyDeleteIkr? My search for Christmas movies led me down the wrong path here ;)
DeleteI'll pass on this, thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou and me both ;) Once was enough lol
DeleteI used to watch Shirley Temple ( as a teenager) movies as my local station used to show them every Sunday afternoon. They are fun! Thanks for reminding me of a good memory. And like you, I'll stay inside as it is cold. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThere are so many Shirley Temple fans, and she's a beloved figure. I've never liked her movies. Too sweet for me, I think.
