Casting Shirley Temple in that role - well - she is adorable. The other characters played their roles well, making 'Wee Willie Winkie' one of the great films of all time, as were all of Shirley Temple's movies. Actually, writing a review, no matter how positive it is, really cannot do justice to this film. The best way to 'review' it is to view it for oneself and to enjoy it. .

This Shirley Temple movie with Victor Macglegan embodies the spirit of The Black Watch in India with the nostalgia of black and white. My six year old granddaughter saw through a child's eyes some of the reality of war and the loss of a dear one as well as the many light moments that make this a true family movie. As a lifetime military man and a bagpiper I treasure it greatly. John Ford did an excellent job being authentic without being overbearing.
Saw this movie as a kid and really liked it. Just as good today many years later.
