Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is a 1938 American musical comedy film directed by Allan Dwan, and written by Don Ettlinger, Karl Tunberg, Ben Markson and William M. Conselman, the third adaptation of Kate Douglas Wiggin's 1903 novel of the same name (previously done in 1917 and 1932).

The plot tells of a talented orphan's trials and tribulations after winning a radio audition to represent a breakfast cereal.

Rebecca and her stepfather, Henry Kipper (William Demarest) are among a crowd of parents and daughters hoping to win a singing contest aimed at finding "Little Miss America."

Rebecca meets her aunt and her cousin Gwen at Sunnybrook, decides she loves the farm and never wants to leave.

Lola rebuffs the love-struck Orville, but they begin their rehearsal of "Alone With You" which transforms into the actual evening performance with orchestra.

He forces Miranda to give up Rebecca, and devises to sell her singing contract to a rival company of Tony's.

Tony and Gwen find Rebecca at the local broadcast station and attempt to buy her contract for $100,000, but the rival executive refuses.

The movie ends with Gwen and Tony, Lola Lee and Orville, and Miranda and Homer as couples, and Rebecca performs a military dance show on the stage.

The new style with the long loose waves combed back was modeled to look closer to that of Mary Pickford, whom Temple's mother admired.

[1] In the preparation for the film's finale (the "Toy Trumpet" dance number), Robinson joined Temple and her mother at the Desert Inn in Palm Springs to begin rehearsals.

It was here that Temple had her first real encounter with the racism endured by Robinson, as he was forced to sleep in the chauffeurs' quarters as opposed to the cottages reserved for white guests.
