Wee Willie Winkie still

Wee Willie Winkie is a 1937 American adventure drama film directed by John Ford and starring Shirley Temple, Victor McLaglen, C. Aubrey Smith, June Lang, Michael Whalen, and Cesar Romero. The screenplay by Ernest Pascal and Julien Josephson was based on an 1888 story by Rudyard Kipling that concerns the British presence in 19th-century India. The production was filmed largely at the Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, California, where a number of elaborate sets were built for the film. It is noteworthy for not having any elaborate song or dance routines, which had become staples in Temple's films for 20th Century-Fox.
