Little Miss Marker (1934)
Little Miss Marker (also known as The Girl in Pawn) is a 1934 American drama film directed by Alexander Hall. The screenplay was written by William R. Lipman, Sam Hellman, and Gladys Lehman after a short story of the same name by Damon Runyon. The film stars Shirley Temple, Adolphe Menjou, and Dorothy Dell in a story about a little girl held as collateral by gangsters. The film was Temple's first starring role in a major motion picture and was crucial to establishing her as a major film star. The film was named to the United States National Film Registry and has been remade several times.
