Favourite bit What a visual this is! Hundreds and hundreds of balloons falling all over the place as the cops burst in to get the kids. |
Trivia • Copyrighted May 16, 1928. • Film #76 in the series. • This was Mary Ann Jackson's first Our Gang appearance. • Damn, that skirt worn by Jean is rather short, don't you think? Saying that, Mary Ann's underwear is exposed as well during the film. Makes you wonder what was going through the minds of those whose ideas it was to film such things at the time? • There are two intertitle cards missing from the DVD version, both of which I have digitally re-created and included in the correct sequence in the montage at the bottom of this page. They are (#5) after Jean asks the second woman "When did your face fall?" she follows this up with "Mama said it took two men to lift it." and (#33) After Harry gets shocked on the piano bench, he says "This mus' be one o' them electric pianos." • When Harry and Jean exhange clothes, do you think he put on the underwear she was wearing, or should we not go there? • Black rings form around the eyes of all the kids when they put the eye-piece to their faces, but Farina's rings are white. Hmmm.... what gives? • Joe and Jackie both eat with the fork in their right hands and knife in their left. Very back-to-front. • When Joe bites into his cream puff to squirt Jackie in the face, the squirt comes from the side but Joe is sitting directly in front of him. Mistake. • The scene where the kids all sit at the dinner table was also the same setting for Laurel and Hardy's "From Soup To Nuts". What the experts say • "Jean Darling's finest hour. Cute, kinky and showing her knickers throughout the film. It's also rather odd that she just completely disappears in the second half of the film. There's no doubt about it though, that final scene with all the balloons is something quite spectacular." ~ Lord Heath. |
