★★★★★ · We could all use a 'little sister' · Kentworth · 2014-04-29

What a gem of a film. This might be considered a prime example of 'the way they used to' in the phrase 'they don't make them the way they used to'. Production and direction more than acceptable for the time, sets are adequate, but the acting is what makes this so appealing. Little Sister undoubtedly steals the show, and that had to be how it was intended. And that's okay by me. She was worth every second of it.

★★★★★ · GREAT FILM · Franklin Belmonte Bonafe Jr · 2023-11-28

GREAT FIL,M indeed and THANK YOU to ALL in making this available for our enjoyment; all of your hard work and resources utilized is well and greatly appreciated and deeply admired. And to see a young PETER CUSHING was an added bonus--even without words, sentiments of emotions in acting was conveyed.

Laddie was Gene Stratton-Porter's remembrance of her own childhood. Little Sister was the author, and Laddie was her oldest brother. Her books are most well known in Indiana, where she lived most of her life. You might like to look for her books in the library.

They got it all wrong... they should have named this one "LITTLE SISTER" instead of "LADDIE" because everyone in this delightful, wholesome charmer plays their scene as a secondary character to "Little Sister". I would have lost my interest in this film early on (lackluster storyline, but well acted by likable characters) if I weren't so entertained by Little Sister's facial expressions, amused by her quick quips, and intrigued by what she was going to do next to make sure everything turns out just right for everyone. Joan Carroll is absolutely adorable in this, and steals the show.
