Shirley Temple Baby Burlesque (in Color)

Trash

In my opinion, these belong in a different camp from the rest of the interesting material from the early 20th century that has recently made it to Prime and may not be suitable for the audience its being suggested for. These films were made as a way to normalize racism and pedophilia. The only reason anyone should be watching these today should be if theyre writing a report on why racism and pedophilia is so rampant and normalized in America...

this is sick i looked at it for 5 min and this is sick what everyone else said in the review

Shirley Temple is a most amazibg child. This was. Early in her career. She was quite young, maybe 4 or 5. It did seem like they sexualized the children and I did find that repulsive. I do realize the world was operating in many ways common for the time. Admittedly, I found it somewhat disturbing.

I agreed with the other reviewers. This belongs in the category of Child Bride. One cant just shrug off the sexual content as innocent or antiquated.

Offensive, sexual references all over the place, they even made the babies racist and the black baby is running around saying yessuh boss and acting like a dummy. I used to like Shirley Temple when I was a kid. Now that Im an adult, this looks like a pedophiles wet dream.

These movies are satires of movies popular at the time they were made using young children in the roles. It may seem odd to have the boys topless, but its nothing you wouldnt see at the old swimming hole. One reviewer called it racist because Philip said yes boss. to another character. But somehow she did not comment about when the boy called Philip boss. Looked up yes boss in urban dictionary and theres nothing racist in that term. I did some research and found where church groups were showing the movies for its entertainment value and comedy. Great to see that Shirley Temples natural charm at an early age. These are young kids acting, so theres no polished performances

The babies shouldve not been out in this kinds of scenarios. Even back then it looks awful

I know these were made for a very different generation and a very different time in our society, but I can only see them though the eyes of todays society. I know at the time they were considered cute and were made with that intention, but in all honesty, given the way things are today I found these creepy and somewhat disturbing.
