Clown Princes (1939)
7/10
Raisin' Money With The Little Rascals
25 May 2000
An OUR GANG Comedy Short.

The Gang agrees to become CLOWN PRINCES for a good cause. They're putting on a circus show in the barn to help raise the $3.00 Porky's family needs to pay their rent. With Spanky as ringmaster, Buckwheat as a wildman, Darla as the lion tamer & Alfalfa as the man on the flying trapeze, all seems headed for success - until the landlord shows up...

Few real laughs in this otherwise innocuous little film. Made after MGM got direct control of the Gang, and with the kids themselves noticeably growing up, it bears scant resemblance to the Rascals' classics of yesteryear.

That's old Clarence Wilson as the vile landlord.
