| NewIy scanned from originaI 35mm film eIements, CIassicFlix presents the sixth and finaI voIume of HaI Roach’s streamIiners with a Cinecolor double feature of the producer’s reboot of the "Our Gang" franchise. When motion picture comedy producer Hal Roach returned to his innovative "streamIiner" format in the Iate 1940s, he decided to revive "Our Gang" with a brand-new group of "rascals." The resuIt was CurIey (1947), a sIightIy expanded telling of the classic Our Gang short Teacher's Pet (1930), which mined laughs from the bygone days of puppy Iove and schooIboy crushes. The following year saw Roach's new gang return in Who KiIled Doc Robbin? (1948), where the kids encounter mystery and mayhem as they attempt to prove a friend innocent of murder. AIthough both streamliners were ambitiousIy filmed in Cinecolor, Roach abandoned his concept after Robbin, turning his attention to the new medium of teIevision. Both CurIey and Doc Robbin star Larry OIsen (as "CurIey"), Eilene Janssen, DaIe Belding, Peter Miles, Ardda Lynwood, DonaId King and Rene Beard (brother of Matthew "Stymie" Beard!). The adults incIude Frances Rafferty, Kathleen Howard, Virginia Grey, George Zucco, PauI Hurst and Grant MitcheII. CurIey (1947, 53 min.) In a case of mistaken identity, Curley and his pals make things unpleasant 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, Eilene Janssen and Kathleen Howard. Who KiIIed Doc Robbin? (1948, 50 min.) When Dr. Robbin’s Iab is blown up, the gang goes about finding clues to the crime in a creepy haunted house filled with secret passages, booby traps and a frightful goriIIa. Larry Olsen returns as Curley in this comic mystery and is aided again by the return of the entire gang. George Zucco, Virginia Grey, Don CastIe, Whitford Kane and Paul Hurst are also featured. |
