Home Bound is a family comedy starring Shirley Temple, after her mother dies her father and her grow apart. On a car trip, their vehicle breaks down, stranding them in the Midwest. They sing and dance to make enough money to make it back to New York and become close again in the process. This movie would do well in 1935 due to its escapist appeal. With the happy ending and comedic appeal, many Americans would like this movie. Our story is mostly leaning towards getting many viewers in the theater and to make a large profit. Our genre was picked to allow for a large profit without dealing with issues from the Hays Code. Also, Shirley Temple is known for family movies and her singing. Fox studios was the studio to pick for this film. They contracted Shirley Temple, a key actor that we wanted and also had a good director, John Ford. It would be a small production, looking for a quick profit. We chose John Ford to direct our film due to his experience with song in Fox Studios. Our lead actors were Shirley Temple and Spencer Tracy. We believed they would have a good chemistry in the movie and would make a great singing father, daughter couple. The Hays code would not effect our movie much, if at all. It is a family comedy meant for younger ages and families. We chose not to use color in our film as it is a low budget movie hoping to make a large profit. I don't believe that we should of done a family comedy as I dislike these kinds of movies. However, as a group we decided to pick the family comedy genre to avoid dealing with the Hays code.
