To Tell the Truth

	Our Gang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Our Gang, also known as The Little Rascals or Hal Roach's Rascals, was a long-lived series of American comedy short films about a troupe of poor neighborhood children and the adventures they had together.
		Our Gang was hugely successful during the 1920s and the early 1930s.
		The MGM-produced Our Gang shorts were not as well-received as the Roach-produced shorts had been, due to both MGM's inexperience with the brand of slapstick comedy Our Gang was famous for and MGM's insistence on keeping Alfalfa, Spanky, and Buckwheat in the series until they were in their early teens.

	Chain Gang - Encyclopedia Uplandia \| UplandLife.com
		Each dog is in turn on a three-foot length of chain that allows it some mobility, but still keeps the dogs away from each other.
		Most handlers will use the chain gang as a way to let a number of dogs watch other dogs working the field.
		This helps the dogs on the chain gang to build enthusiasm, and even do a little learning as they watch.

	Our Gang
		The early Our Gang sound films from 1931 to 1933 are uniformly heartwarming and funny, and based on real situations audiences of the Great Depression could easily relate to.
		Typical of these unsung gang members was Dorothy DeBorba, the kind of Our Ganger who never had a story built around her, but who could steal a scene from a more seasoned member with a perfectly executed popeyed look or scowl.
		The MGM Our Gang shorts desperately needed Wheezer frolicking in bed with Pete the Pup, Dorothy DeBorba screwing her face into an inscutable scowl, or Jackie Cooper spitting a wisecrack out of the side of his mouth, but those days were over.

	Our Gang, by Neil Anthony
		Robert McGowan is their director and he has been since the inception of the "Our Gang" idea, and from him we learned something of the methods he uses to induce the rascals to perform cleverly before the camera.
		To keep them interested in their work and encourage each and every member of the "gang" to thoroughly enter into the spirit of the film scenes, he has a standing offer of twenty-five cents reward for each gag suggested that is used before the camera.
		How the "gang" responds to the gag prize idea is shown by a recent experience at the studio.

	Our Gang Follies of 1938 (1937) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Plot Summary: The gang is putting on a show with Alfalfa billed as "King of the Crooners." But Alfalfa abandons the show saying his crooning days are over...
		A big-budget musical short that features a floor show in snazzy Club Spanky (thanks to the convenient plot device of having Alfalfa dream the whole thing), "Our Gang Follies of 1938" was the last truly great film in the Our Gang series and the last two-reel comedy Hal Roach would ever produce.
		Interestingly enough, when MGM bought Our Gang from Hal Roach not six months after this short was produced, they tried a number of time to produce a short to match this one ("Ye Old Minstrels," "Melodies Old and New," "Calling All Kids," etc.) but it never happened.

		Our Gang (The Little Rascals) - Legend has it that the idea for the Our Gang series came to producer Hal Roach as he watched some small children fight over a piece of wood.
		Roach, who detested the "professional children" who were common in the films of the day, decided to create young characters who behaved like real children rather than as pint-sized adults.
		These were just a few of the better-known actors that made up the Our Gang ensemble, many of whom went on to successful film and television careers (Jackie Cooper and Robert Blake perhaps the most notable).
