Heidi
-- One of Shirley Temple's better vehicles comes from the Johanna Spyri children's classic about a little Swiss orphan who brings cheer into the morose life of her grandfather (Jean Hersholt), then is taken from him to be the companion of a crippled rich girl in Frankfurt where, after helping the child to walk again, she is spirited away by a hateful housekeeper (Mary Nash). As directed by Allan Dwan, curly-haired Shirley smiles her way through considerable woes until rescued from near tragedy on Christmas Eve. Best for young children with the reassuring presence of a parent. (A-I) (G)

Movies have been evaluated by the U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishop's Office for Film and Broadcasting according to artistic
merit and moral suitability. The reviews include the USCCB rating,
the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief
synopsis of the movie.
The classifications are as follows:
- A-I -- general patronage;
- A-II -- adults and adolescents;
- A-III -- adults;
- A-IV**
- L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
- O -- morally offensive.
** Discontinued classification. All archived movies that were originally in the A-IV category are now classified as L.
