The Beloved Brat, the 1938 Arthur Lubin troubled teen melodrama ("The sensation of the hour!"; "Are they the marked women of tomorrow?"; "From an original story by Jean Negulesco" a complicated story of a 13 year-old rich girl whose parents ignore her, and she has a black friend whose family treats her lovingly, but her parents forbid her to be with them, and she ends up in a car accident with her parents' butler, and she is sent to a progressive reform school where she changes her ways, and is able to get her parents to change theirs too, and to accept her black friends) starring Bonita Granville, Dolores Costello, Donald Briggs, Donald Crisp, and Matthew 'Stymie' Beard. Note that this movie has a very complicated origin! It was originally titled "Girls on Probation", which means that it likely had a somewhat different plot, but at some point after they began filming, they settled on the plot described above, at which point the movie's title was changed to "The Beloved Brat" (after first considering using the title "Too Much of Everything"). But almost surely because Warner Bros. had already announced that they would make "Girls on Probation" (and in fact, we have seen the window card and insert from that intended release), they went ahead and made a movie of that title to replace the changed one, which actually did center around girls on probation, and which starred Jane Bryan and Ronald Reagan!
