A Pretty Decent One
Actually, Captain January is one of my favorite Temple flix because of themusic. For many years, it was out of circulation, not shown on the tube,andnot available on video. I finally got to tape it on AMC several years ago,and it's still fum to watch.The score is especially warm and interesting. It's supposed to be writtenby Louis Silvers, but it was fine writing by whomever the arranger/orchestrator was.Not my FAVORITE Temple flick, 'cause she did several that are better thanthis in terms of substance. The main attractions are the music, her danceepisodes with a young Buddy Ebsen ( was there ever such a thing?), and themushy relationship with the Cap'n. And the whole family can get in on theact !!

Shirley at her best...warm-hearted, solid entertainment...
This is the kind of film to make anyone a SHIRLEY TEMPLE fan. Here thelittle miss is once again an orphan but this time a kind-heartedlighthouse keeper (Guy Kibbe) is raising her as his own. Troubles comewhen the local schoolmarm decides Shirley needs a better education andupbringing.Shirley not only sings a couple of bright tunes, but has a big dancescene on the wharf with Buddy Ebsen--complete with intricate taps andall kinds of whirls as they dance to "At the Codfish Ball". This andher opening number "Early Bird" are among the film's most charmingroutines.Shirley gets emotional during the final tug of war where she is beingtorn away from the Cap, a crying scene that reveals just how deeplyfelt some of her performances were.Highly recommended.
