Curly Sue (1991)

Bill Dancer, a kind-hearted drifter, and his young, spirited sidekick, Curly Sue, are the quintessential ragtag duo, homeless but with souls that glitter like gold. Their ingenious ploys are driven not by greed, but by the simple need for sustenance. Their lives take a turn when they charm the aristocratic and stunning Grey Ellison into believing she's collided her luxurious Mercedes into Bill, their objective being nothing more than a hearty meal. However, Grey's heart is moved, and despite her fiancé's haughty disapproval, she insists on offering them shelter for the night. As their relationship deepens, Bill finds himself yearning for a stable, nurturing home for Curly Sue - something his nomadic, destitute lifestyle can't provide. He resolves to entrust the young girl to Grey's care and subsequently disappear. But the feisty Curly Sue is not one to let her destiny be scripted by others! Intrigue, humor, and heartwarming bonds unfurl in this captivating journey of an unlikely duo navigating the complexities of life and relationships. Their story reminds us that family isn't always about blood ties, but about the people who never leave your side, no matter what life throws at you. Will Curly Sue embrace her potential new life, or does she have a different plan up her sleeve?
