Movie short review - "War Babies" (1932) *

Early Shirley Temple short (it runs just under 10 minutes) was one of a series of spoofs of adult movies with little kids in them. They are really little. This one sends up What Price Glory with two soldiers arguing over a girl - Shirley, who shakes her tush and can barely stand up. The jokes are clunky and its borderline embarrassing at times - like watching a home movie of someone's kids.
