Our Gang Follies Of 1936

Available on BLU-RAY & DVD:

A bunch of excited kids climb through a hole in a fence to witness a show of singing which is being put on by Spanky and crew. Spanky emerges and begins singing to the crowd of kids who have gathered.

Trivia • Copyrighted October 29, 1935. • Film #141 in the series. • This was Darla Hood's first appearance in the series. • A colorized version of the film is available. My opinion • The scene with the ten girl dancers on the stage sure has some pretty dodgy shots of them! Makes you wonder what the director was thinking at the time.
