Warden Callaway Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 When I got home from school back in the late 50'S the local TV station had a kid's program that included cartoon and a Little Rascals or Our Gang short. Every now and then I have to watch a few. The old film versions have have been cleaned up and restored. I always get a kick out of Spanky in his early years. I'd like to know how they could get the kids to perform - especially the toddlers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Electricity...they'd get their Moms down on the ground and threaten to electrocute 'em if the kid didn't perform... Kidding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Remarkable! Uh-huhhhhh. I grew up watching this stuff. Politically incorrect these days. There were some nice looking teachers in some episodes. Some of these kids grew up to very tragic lives. Some acted into their seventies.

Warden Callaway Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hal Rosch built an empire on comedy productions. Here is one with Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts. Notice the same background music as used in many Little Rascals productjons. Zasu Pitts was said to be the prototype for Olive Oyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
