Dickie Moore and Chic Sale star in this very well restored film from 1932. The picture quality and the sound quality are excellent. Sale is Grandpa Minick, who goes to live with his son, and it's not working out so well. Minick makes friends with the little hoodlum from next door, and they teach each other various life lessons. Louise Beavers is in here as the maid... you'll recognize her from "Imitation of Life" with Claudette Colbert. The characters are all like-able, so it's fun to watch. Chic Sale has a fun story on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_"Chic"_Sale . Apparently his specialty was to dress up and act the part of a country bumpkin. Wrote several books as well. Dickie Moore started in films as a baby, and was a member of "Our Gang" for a while. Fun film. Moves right along. Quick, plain, simple story, so don't look too deeply into the plot.
