Witchy cousin question


Did any of you out there think a teenaged Shirley Temple was playing the evil Cynthia's wicked cousin as you watched the movie?

I'd never heard of Carol Brannan/Brannon until I came to IMDB to verify the identity of the young actress. (And yes, I ended up losing an argument. At least Shirley and Carol were both born in 1928.)

No, I didn't, but I thought Fredonia and Stella were such...witches. They were so jealous!

I thought she had a bit of June Preisser to her but with shorter hair and not as pretty. But how about Shirley Johns who played her school pal. She had a real Veronica Lake thing going there with almost a touch of Joi Lansing.
