MilesArcher Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Yes, "General Spanky" was Our Gang's only feature length film. Producer Hal Roach saw that Fox had hits with a couple of Shirley Temple Civil War movies, "The Little Colonel" and "The Littlest Rebel". He thought he could duplicate their success, but "General Spanky" was not very funny and Roach decided to staye with the shorts format for the gang. Here is a short clip: Starlit, you get to post the next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBeacon Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hint: The director and star would make another movie together just a few years after this film, this time with swords and sandals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 It must be "Paths Of Glory". Director Stanley Kubrick and star Kirk Douglas would team up a few years later for "Spartacus". Here is that final scene: The young German actress singing, Susanne Christian, would go on to marry Stanley Kubrick. They would remain married until his death in 1999.

Colbert and Mccrea, Rudy Vallee and Mary Astor as the nutty brother and sister and they are both so great in this one. So glad you know this film, good job.

Arturo Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Sorry Lavender. It turns out the couple had been celebrating the first anniversary of their divorce. They had only been married for one year; she left him due to his obsession with gambling on horse racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 The young woman had her ex-husband served because he hadn’t paid his monthly alimony. He claimed it was because of poor investments; she stated he had bought a horse that was’t winning. His attorney would come by soon to give her the check, so that his client would be released. However, she never deposited the alimony checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
