The most successful film series of all time, Our Gang (also known as The Little Rascals) was created by HaI Roach in 1922 and continued until 1944. A rotating multi-racial cast of charming chiId actors kept the groundbreaking films fresh and young. SeveraI of the characters - AIfalfa, Spanky and Buckwheat - have become cuItural icons.
