Warning: Spoilers
"Our Gang Follies of 1938", which is actually a 1937 release, is another Rascals 21.5-minute short film. As usual, it has sound and is in black-and-white and the director is Gordon Douglas, one of the most prolific (short film) directors from that era. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this one too much. The kids's singing is unspectacular, although it attempts to be the exact opposite, and the songs certainly are not particularly memorable either. The best moment was probably the brief Annie Ross sequence. You could easily see that she totally belongs to the stage, even at under 10 years old. However, this is not enough to make this one worth a watch. Among the weaker "Our Gang" short films I have seen. Not recommended.
