Football Romeo (1938)
The Our Gang kids square off against "Butch's Assassins" in a crucial football game. Star player Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer balks at participating, leaving it up to Darla Hood to coerce and cajole him into donning his uniform. The climax of the game finds Alfie attempting a sixty-yard touchdown, despite the formidable opposition of his lifelong rival Tommy "Butch" Bond. Originally released on November 12, 1938, the one-reel Our Gang entry Football Romeo benefited from the comedy expertise of uncredited script contributor Jack White, of Three Stooges fame. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
