An overlooked, rare gem of a film from 1947, starring an 8 year-old Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharenko, aka Natalie Wood. This one shares a similar plot with "A Girl Named Sooner," as young Jenny (Miss Wood) is a ragged, little backwoods waif "adopted" by a kindly, young doctor and his fiancee. Like "Sooner," this film features a memorable scene in the tub (somewhat moreso than the RFF description would indicate).
I've seen this film more than once on broadcast and cable TV, as well as on video. Unfortunately, the only way to view this one "on-demand" is to acquire the VHS tape via Amazon.com. As for lovely, little Natalia, there's simply no clearer explanation for my life-long obsession with petite, brown-eyed brunettes:

Another on the very short list of child actresses who grew only more gorgeous with age. Gone too soon!

The sound is a little rough but otherwise it's not that bad for an old VHS.
