Thoughtful for parents

Back in the 1930s, divorce wasn't nearly as common as it is today. In fact, it wasn't common at all! So, even though a lot of Shirley Temple movies feature her as an orphan or motherless and needing care and comfort, Our Little Girl tackles the terrible subject of divorce. Her parents, Joel McCrea and Rosemary Ames, are having a lot of problems, and their happy home is being threatened on three fronts: Joel is tempted by his secretary, Erin O'Brien-Moore; Rosemary is tempted by an old friend, Lyle Talbot; and they both feel stale and unseen. So, while Shirley treasures their family picnics, she doesn't know that those rituals are about to be taken away.Although this one isn't really as dark as Shirley's movies can sometimes be, because it doesn't involve death, it does have a dark cloud hanging over it. From a child's perspective, this probably won't be anyone's favorite. There are no "animal crackers" or jump rope tap dancing. But from an adult's point of view, it's a very thoughtful movie. The parents aren't just parents, they are people. They have feelings and frustrations, and even though they have the greatest little girl in the entire world in their family, it sometimes isn't enough. When Lyle treats Rosemary like a woman, it's really refreshing for her. She has to weigh the importance of her own life versus giving up everything for her child. Of course, making the decision to become a parent means that you agree to come second for the rest of your life. But sometimes in movies, and in life, parents forget about that bargain. What will Rosemary and Joel decide? Will Shirley come first, or will she do something terrible and extremely dangerous, like run away from home? You'll have to watch Our Little Girl to find out.
