The Little Princess

A riches to rags story featuring Shirley Temple. After her father is killed in war, she is allowed to stay at her private school by becoming a child servant to her former classmates. She befriends some teachers who I think eventually adopt her out of this hellhole.

I watched The Little Princess with my grandmother last weekend after she mentioned loving Shirley Temple as a kid. The riches-to-rags plot hits harder than I expected, Sara’s resilience while basically becoming a servant at her own school is heartbreaking. The ending felt a bit rushed but satisfying. Afterward, I was trying to find where to stream more classic films and ended up reading peacock tv reviews https://peacock-tv.pissedconsumer.com/review.html while making tea. It’s a sweet, old-fashioned watch that still holds up if you’re in the mood for something wholesome.
