The Little Princess was a defining moment in Temple's career. For the first time, she was given a meatier, more serious role. After she was prevented from even auditioning for MGM's big Technicolor musical extravaganza The Wizard of Oz, Fox commissioned this splashy Technicolor musical drama. While it is not the timeless classic Oz is, this film is plenty good on its own terms. Temple is luminous and heartbreaking as Sara Crewe—one of her finest performances at this point in her career. Studio veteran Walter Lang directed the film, and his gift for eliciting solid performances from a game cast is in full evidence here.

The goal of the Shirley Temple is to contrast the sparkle and acid of the soda base with the sweet grenadine. Too much grenadine makes the drink painfully sweet, so a minimal amount should be added. Grenadine really functions as color, as opposed to flavor. A related drink is the Roy Rogers cocktail, made from cola and grenadine — essentially a cherry coke.
