What happens

Captain January is a 1936 American musical comedy-drama film directed by David Butler. The screenplay by Sam Hellman, Gladys Lehman, and Harry Tugend is based on the 1890 children's book of the same name by Laura E. Richards. The film stars Shirley Temple, Guy Kibbee, and Sara Haden. There was a tentative attempt at a copyright renewal, but now the film is in the public domain due to "a legal loophole". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
