Editorial Review: Amazon.com: A 1939 classic Shirley Temple film about prejudice and the conflict between the workmen building the Canadian Pacific Railroad and the Blackfeet Indians, Susannah of the Mounties has been nicely restored in its original black and white format and is also presented in a new, fairly realistically colorized, remastered version. Shirley Temple stars as Susannah Sheldon, a young girl who's orphaned as a result of an Indian attack on her Grandfather's pioneer settlement. Susannah is rescued from the massacre by the kindly Inspector "Monty" Montague (Randolph Scott) of the Northwest Mounted Police. Mr. Monty takes Susannah in and, once she's settled in her temporary home, Susannah quickly develops a crush on Mr. Monty that promises to put her at odds with a beautiful young lady visiting from more civilized lands. While residing with Mr. Monty, Susannah learns a lot about the Indians and their customs thanks to ongoing peace treaty efforts between the officers and the Indians and a budding friendship with Indian Chief Big Eagle's (Maurice Moscovitch) son Little Chief (Martin Good Rider). Dubbed Golden Hawk by her young Indian friend, the spunky and outspoken Susannah becomes the most unlikely of negotiators between the white men and the Indians and proves invaluable to the preservation of peace on the frontier. Violence and fairly mature themes make this film appropriate for ages 10 and older. Bonus features include a "Movietone News" segment with Jimmie Fidler reporting on Carnation Stable's gift of a pony in honor of Shirley Temple's 8th birthday. --Tami Horiuchi Average Rating:

Despite the limitations of the material, fans of Temple should enjoy this little gem. Temple plays Susannah Sheldon, who narrowly survives an horrific Indian attack and is rescued by the Mounties, led by Monty (Randolph Scott). Little Sue goes to live with Monty and his colleagues at the local fort, where pretty soon her unique ...

One key person missing from the picture was director John Ford. The product suffers without Ford's vision of humor, action, and sentiment. Don't get me wrong. Shirley Temple is still America's Sweetheart. She is the lone survivor of a wagon train massacre, and RCMP Randolph Scott comes to her aid. This time it's American Indians on the warpath. Shirley almost single-handed prevents war on the Canadian ...
