In a surprising departure from her usual roles, Shirley plays a lovable orphan. For reasons that are not clear, she is moved to a hotel full of entertainers. Unfortunately, the hotel is owned by a witch who summons the authorities to have Shirley sent back to the orphanage. No spoiler alert is needed to reveal that all ends well in Shirley's world. Those who are not Temple fans and those who like good movies should stay away from this one. The only highlight is Murphy's dancing. After retiring from show business, Murphy served as US Senator from California while Ronald Reagan was the governor! Of course Shirley became an orphan ambassador.
