a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Little Miss Throughbred was a delightful surprise I found one late night. The performances were great; especially those of little Miss Chapman, and the cop. The little girl was incredibly beautiful, and just as great an actress, without seeming like a prima donna. I was completely taken in by the predictable plot because of the whit, charm, and superb acting of Ann Sheridan, the cop, and by that tiny angelic face of the little girl. I would like to see the movie again, and again. I would like to share it with my family and friends. It would be so wonderful if real life chance meeting turned out as well for children. If there are other movies in which little Janet Chapman acted, I would like to view those as well. Or, if she starred in movies later as an adult I would like to know of those too. It did not matter a bit to me that the plot was predictable, I was carried blissfully along, enjoying every bit of the ride. Thank you, Nomie

Little Miss Thoroughbred is a nice little film with an absolutely adorable performance by Janet Chapman (qv) as the title character.Movies with children this young run the risk of being too cutesy, but to her credit little Miss Chapman keeps her performance on the positive side.This movie was on my to-watch list because of Ann Sheridan (qv) and, as usual, she doesn't disappoint. As talented as she is beautiful, Miss Sheridan makes any movie worth watching and she does a nice job working with Miss Chapman.If you don't mind the whole using-a-kid-to-win-at-the-races angle, then I'm sure you'll find this movie Thoroughly enjoyable. (Pun intended :-)
