Wee Willie Winkie

Through trickery Sgt. MacDuff (Victor McLaglen) has obtained a uniform for protegè Priscilla (Shirley Temple), commencing drills when she sees the chance to return a necklace she found to the now-imprisoned local chieftain Khan (Cesar Romero), in John Ford’s Wee Willie Winkie, 1937.

Director John Ford’s opening, Shirley Temple as Priscilla and June Lang her widowed mother, in India to join her father-in-law at his post, received by Victor McLaglen, as MacDuff (in a story based loosely on Kipling, in the British army, two years before Gunga Din), in Wee Willie Winkie, 1937.

Just an impressive single take and complete scene by director John Ford, Victor McLaglen as Sergeant MacDuff, and Shirley Temple as young Priscilla, newly arrived at a British base in northern India where her grandfather is in command, in Wee Willie Winkie, 1937.

Priscilla (Shirley Temple) and her widowed mom (June Lang) wait to meet her father-in-law the colonel (C. Aubrey Smith), who also has business with Lt. Brandes (Michael Whalen) and their escort Sgt. MacDuff (Victor McLaglen), at his British army outpost in India, early in Wee Willie Winkie, 1937.
