Taken from a Shirley Temple/Buddy Ebsen song and dance number featured in 1936’s Captain January , I took this week’s “At the Codfish Ball” as not so much a nod to the actual movie but more an allusion to the drama behind the scenes. After the film’s release, critic and novelist Graham Greene wrote a scathing review of Temple, suggesting that her popularity stemmed from her pedophilic appeal. Drawing on Temple’s past roles (especially Charles Lamont’s 1932-33 satirical series Baby Berlesks where a 3-year-old Temple plays sexualized characters under the guise of “It’s cute to use toddlers to make fun of adult-stars”) he found Captain January “a little depraved,” saying she had “an oddly precocious body as voluptuous in grey flannel trousers as Miss Dietrich’s.” Temple was only eight when Greene made these statements, and in 1938 he found himself embroiled in a lawsuit with Fox and the Temple family after he reiterated this when a 9-year-old Shirley starred in Wee Willie Winkie : “Her admirers — middle-aged men and clergymen — respond to her dubious coquetry, to the sight of her well-shaped and desirable little body, packed with enormous vitality, only because the safety curtain of story and dialogue drops between their intelligence and their desire.” While I’m not sure it’s fair to throw labels like that on a child, in hindsight we can blame Fox and Temple’s parents for allowing those occasionally dubious creative decisions
