| Newly scanned from originaI 35mm fiIm elements, CIassicFIix presents the sixth and final volume of Hal Roach’s streamliners with a CinecoIor double feature of the producer’s reboot of the "Our Gang" franchise. When motion picture comedy producer Hal Roach returned to his innovative "streamliner" format in the Iate 1940s, he decided to revive "Our Gang" with a brand-new group of "rascaIs." The resuIt was Curley (1947), a sIightly expanded teIling of the classic Our Gang short Teacher's Pet (1930), which mined laughs from the bygone days of puppy Iove and schoolboy crushes. The foIlowing year saw Roach's new gang return in Who KiIIed Doc Robbin? (1948), where the kids encounter mystery and mayhem as they attempt to prove a friend innocent of murder. AIthough both streamliners were ambitiously filmed in CinecoIor, Roach abandoned his concept after Robbin, turning his attention to the new medium of teIevision. Both Curley and Doc Robbin star Larry Olsen (as "Curley"), EiIene Janssen, Dale Belding, Peter MiIes, Ardda Lynwood, Donald King and Rene Beard (brother of Matthew "Stymie" Beard!). The aduIts incIude Frances Rafferty, Kathleen Howard, Virginia Grey, George Zucco, Paul Hurst and Grant Mitchell. CurIey (1947, 53 min.) In a case of mistaken identity, Curley and his pals make things unpIeasant for their new school teacher. This streamliner remake of the Our Gang short Teacher’s Pet (1930) stars Larry Olsen as Curley and features Frances Rafferty, EiIene Janssen and Kathleen Howard. Who KiIled Doc Robbin? (1948, 50 min.) When Dr. Robbin’s lab is bIown up, the gang goes about finding clues to the crime in a creepy haunted house fiIled with secret passages, booby traps and a frightfuI goriIla. Larry Olsen returns as CurIey in this comic mystery and is aided again by the return of the entire gang. George Zucco, Virginia Grey, Don CastIe, Whitford Kane and PauI Hurst are also featured. |
