Whiting / Sidney Clare Uncle Ned Smith: We showed her, didn't we? Shirley Blake: We sure did. Thanks, Mr. Smith. I like you. Uncle Ned Smith: Then you're the only one around here that does. They don't like me, and I don't like them, either. Mrs. Elizabeth Higgins: It's just a bit of a Christmas gift for Shirley. Mary Blake: You're so kind. I bought a few things for her, not very much of course. Things were different when her father was alive. Mrs. Elizabeth Higgins: Yes, the poor young fellow. But it must be a comfort to know you're doing all you can for her. She's such a sweet child. Not like that Joy. There's a brat if ever one lived. James 'Loop' Merritt: You can take her now, but only on the understanding that once I get a place for her, Shirley comes with me. I love that baby. Adele Martin: I understand how you feel. Loop, regardless of what you think of me, I think you're the finest man I've ever known. Shirley Blake: I know who you are. Adele Martin: You do? Shirley Blake: Sure, you're the lady who's coming to live at our house. Adele Martin: You're not little Joy, are you? Shirley Blake: Oh, no, I'm Shirley. Adele Martin: Oh, I see. Shirley Blake: Loop, isn't this the lady whose picture you have in your book? James 'Loop' Merritt: Yeah. She's one of them. Shirley Blake: Who's that picture of? James 'Loop' Merritt: Oh. A girl I used to know. Shirley Blake: She's a pretty lady. James 'Loop' Merritt: I used to think so. But it's not enough to be pretty on the outside. You've got to be pretty on the inside, too. Shirley Blake: How can you be pretty in there? James 'Loop' Merritt: By thinking the right thoughts and doing the right things. And eating plenty of spinach! Uncle Ned Smith: And another thing. You stop telling people I made my money in sanitary engineering. It was sewers. Sewers! And don't you forget it. Uncle Ned Smith: Hey, where's your little girl? Mary Blake: She's gone to a Christmas party. Uncle Ned Smith: I don't believe in Christmas. Mary Blake: You don't? Uncle Ned Smith: It's all a lot of nonsense. Mary Blake: Well, I don't feel that way about it. Uncle Ned Smith: Here. [handing her some money] Uncle Ned Smith: Buy a Christmas present for Shirley from me. Christmas. [scoffs] Mary Blake: Well! What do you make of that? Mrs. Elizabeth Higgins: He never fooled me. He's only tough on the outside. Inside, he's soft as mush. from ‘Bright Eyes’ (1934) Starring Shirley Temple (Curly Top), James Dunn (Baby, Take a Bow), Jane Darwell (The Ox-Bow Incident), and Lois Wilson (The Great Gatsby). Screenplay by William M. Conselman (Week Ends Only). Directed by David Butler (White Fang). Bright Eyes is a 1934 American comedy drama film directed by David Butler. The screenplay by William Conselman is based on a story by David Butler and Edwin J. Burke. Plot Six-year-old Shirley Blake (Shirley Temple) and her mother, Mary (Lois Wilson), a maid, live in the home of her employers, the rich and mean-spirited Smythe family, Anita (Dorothy Christy), J. Wellington (Theodore von Eltz), and Joy (Jane Withers). After Christmas morning she hitches a ride to the airport. The aviators bring her aboard an airplane and taxi her around the runways, where she serenades them with her rendition of On the Good Ship Lollipop Mary is killed in a traffic accident. When Loop, one of the pilots and Shirley's Godfather, hears about this he takes Shirley up in an airplane, explains that she is in Heaven, and that her mother is also there. When the Smythes learn of Mary's death they make plans to send Shirley to an orphanage. In order to raise attorney fees, Loop reluctantly accepts a lucrative contract to deliver an item by plane, cross-country to New York during a dangerous storm. Unbeknown to him, little Shirley had left the Smythes' home, found his airplane at the airport, and stowed away inside. When their plane loses control in the storm in the wilderness, they parachute to ground together and are eventually rescued safely. The impasse over custody is resolved when Loop, his former fiancée, Adele (Judith Allen), Uncle Ned, and Shirley all decide to live together. American Airlines and the Douglas Aircraft Company, recognizing the potential of the film in advertising air travel, cooperated in the production and distribution. They provided a DC-2, designated "A-74", aircraft for the exterior shots while a true to scale mock up was provided for the interior scenes. A 12-passenger Curtiss T-32 Condor II transport biplane, designated "Condor 151", in early American Airlines (and Air Mail) livery also features in prominent scenes. In the famous Good Ship Lollipop scene, members of the University of Southern California football team served as extras. In the second flying scene where Temple's character sneaks aboard the plane and they were forced to bail out of it, both Temple and Dunn were strapped into a harness hoisted up into the studio rafters. They were supposed to drift down with the aid of a wind machine. In the first take, someone inadvertently opened an airproof door just as they landed, creating a vacuum that sucked out the parachute and dragged them both across the studio floor. Marilyn Granas served as a stand-in for Temple as she had for her previous movies. She would later be replaced by Mary Lou Isleib who would remain as Temple's stand-in for the rest of her tenure at 20th Century Fox. Shirley Temple Black (April 23, 1928 – February 10, 2014) was an American actress, singer, dancer, businesswoman, and diplomat who was Hollywood's number one box-office draw as a child actress from 1934 to 1938. As an adult, she was named United States ambassador to Ghana and to Czechoslovakia, and also served as Chief of Protocol of the United States. Temple began her film career at the age of three in 1931. Two years later, she achieved international fame in Bright Eyes, a feature film designed specifically for her talents. She received a special Juvenile Academy Award in February 1935 for her outstanding contribution as a juvenile performer in motion pictures during 1934. Film hits such as Curly Top and Heidi followed year after year during the mid-to-late 1930s. Temple capitalized on licensed merchandise that featured her wholesome image; the merchandise included dolls, dishes, and clothing. Her box-office popularity waned as she reached adolescence. She appeared in 29 films from the ages of 3 to 10 but in only 14 films from the ages of 14 to 21. Temple retired from film in 1950 at the age of 22. In 1958, Temple returned to show business with a two-season television anthology series of fairy tale adaptations. She made guest appearances on television shows in the early 1960s and filmed a sitcom pilot that was never released. She sat on the boards of corporations and organizations including The Walt Disney Company, Del Monte Foods, and the National Wildlife Federation. She began her diplomatic career in 1969, when she was appointed to represent the United States at a session of the United Nations General Assembly, where she worked at the U.S. Mission under Ambassador Charles W. Yost. In 1988, she published her autobiography, Child Star. Temple was the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the Kennedy Center Honors and a Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award. She is 18th on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest female American screen legends of classic Hollywood cinema. Source: Wikipedia
