What happens

Miss Annie Rooney is a 1942 American drama film directed by Edwin L. Marin and starring Shirley Temple and Dickie Moore. The screenplay by George Bruce has some similarities to the silent film Little Annie Rooney, starring Mary Pickford, but otherwise, the films are unrelated. Notable as the film in which Shirley Temple received her first on-screen kiss, and Moore said it was his first kiss ever. The film was panned. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
