bullet::::- 1939 version: shirley temple as sara and mary nash as miss minchin. this technicolor adaptation notably differs from the original, in that sara's father is wounded and missing in action in wartime, and later is reunited with his daughter. miss minchin's younger sister miss amelia is replaced with "mr bertie", miss minchin's brother, a former music hall performer, who sings and dances with temple. a substantial portion of the story is given over to sara's abetting of an illicit romance between an under-teacher and the school's riding master, dramatized in an elaborate fairy-tale dream sequence.
