The review
A cheerful girl is sent to live with stern aunts. That is the whole machine, and it still runs. Mary Pickford, a grown woman playing a girl. Paramount, 1917, named with Cleopatra and The Poor Little Rich Girl among the year's draws. A child can watch it. This is not the Shirley Temple picture. Do not let those two swap in the dark.
The sunniness is the sell. A girl placed with women who are not her parents is a real household, and a mood is asked to do the work of being loved. I can sit with that on a tired night if everyone knows the terms. Tell the kids the star's age before the smile starts. Cheer from a grown woman in a girl's part is a performance, not a child you send them to imitate.

The glance
Industry and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
The Devil Wears Prada
51 instead of 40
The Devil Wears Prada is still a drama film, and it scores 51 instead of 40. What you gain is industry: The office is work: deadlines, competence, a boss who can tell when you have not tried.
