4 / 10 The comedy films from this era can't be compared to today's films. They were rather unsophisticated and the acting was often unnatural and exaggerated, but for anyone interested in film history they are a must see. My ratings for these films are done with the time period taken heavily into favour. This is the first colourised 'Our Gang' short I've seen and I found it to be quite welcome, adding an extra touch of warmth.
