In the beginning of her career, Shirley Temple starred in a god-awful series called 'Baby Burlesque' films. They consisted of casts of children from about 3-4 years of age acting in films where the actors SHOULD have been adults. This was THE joke in the films and it wore very thin very fast. And, seeing such young kids try to act was pretty pathetic--sort of like seeing kids in a school pageant that you are forced to endure.
In this installment, Shirley and the gang are in the old American West. It's complete with VERY stereotypical Indians, the typical terrible acting, a trained bear (which they actually allowed around the kids!!!) and the usual almost unintelligible dialog (after all, kids this age just can't deliver lines well). It also has a dog that talks!! Uggh! All in all, I can't see how anyone could have enjoyed these unless they really, really, really liked seeing small mostly topless kids performing in for laughs(?)...and people like this creepy me out big-time. Nasty.
