With football training camps for colleges, high schools, & the NFL due to open in about two weeks, it's time to check in with Our Gang in 1937's "The Pigskin Palooka".
Alfalfa has been sent to a military school. To impress his prospective lady fair, Darla, Alfalfa lies about being on the football team, and when Spanky and the rest of the gang buy his tall tales, it's put up or shut up time for Alfalfa.
George McFarland (Spanky) & Carl Switzer (Alfalfa) kept it in the family, having their respective brothers, Tommy & Harold, appear in small parts.
Not exactly a grade school version of the Three Stooges, but it'll do.
Rating: B.
