An oft-adapted story from the beloved novel of the same name by Johanna Spyri, HEIDI (1937) tells the tale of a quintessentially good-natured young orphan sent to live in the Swiss alps with her reclusive grandfather. The classic character is brought to life by the incomparable Shirley Temple – named by the American Film Institute among the greatest screen legends of all time.
