Desert Island Films (Added Author). Infobase, (film distributor.).

Summary: This adaption of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's novel stars Shirley Temple as Sara Crewe, a kindhearted rich girl left penniless after her father is reported dead in battle. She is forced to work as a maid under the harshest of conditions but continues to search for the truth about her father's disappearance. The New York Times critic Janet Maslin, in 1983, described the film as culminating in "a happy ending sure to make even grown-up viewers cry".
