In 1939 it was made into a movie starring
Shirley Temple as Susannah. The movie was directed byWilliam A. Seiter and produced byDarryl F. Zanuck . The plot differs significantly from the book in that it is set twenty years earlier at a much smaller NWMP fort, Susannah is the sole survivor of an Indian attack of a group of traveling wagons (her parents are dead rather than in India), and there's no uncle. The film is an American version of the West compared to the Canadian West of the book.References
