| ♥♥♥♥♥ | sweet & honest fluff |
| the legend is that this movie made elizabeth taylor a star, but in reality nobody knew what to do with the child-woman and it was many more years before she got another role of any importance, all the while remaining a sexual curiosity in a post-ww2 world. the movie itself is a pleasant bit of fluff, highlighted by some spectacular scenery and top-notch supporting work by the likes of anne revere, donald crisp, and (the ACTUAL star of the movie) mickey rooney [omigod! is HE still alive?]. i cant imagine anyone loving this movie, but i cant imagine anyone hating it either.
