Child Stars
To celebrate the International Year of the Child, Barry Norman looks at children in movies - from the innocence of the 1920s and 30s to the precociousness of the 1960s and 70s.
Child stars appearing are Jackie Coogan , Our Gang, Mickey Rooney , Shirley Temple, Bobby Breen , Freddie Bartholomew , Elizabeth Taylor , Jean Simmons , David Hemmings , Hayley Mills , Jodie Foster and Tatum O'Neal. Also a remake of the 1931 Jackie Cooper picture The Champ, and Britain's latest film featuring children, The Water Babies.
