Overview
Heidi (1937) Sunday Family Films
Adapted from one of the best-selling books ever published, Heidi has won hearts around the world (and broken the hearts of Raiders and Jets fans). An orphaned young girl named Heidi (Shirley Temple) lives happily with her grouchy but gentle grandfather, Adolph (Jean Hersholt), in the Swiss Alps. When she's stolen by her ruthless aunt and sold as a servant to the wealthy Herr Sesemann (Sidney Blackmer), Adolph embarks on a journey to find his granddaughter. Meanwhile, Heidi keeps her spirits high (as Shirley Temple characters are wont to do) and befriends Sesemann's daughter, but she longs to return home to the life she knew before.
Free for children 12 and under.
