–Comment: 8 or 9 yo Robert aka Bobby Blake ("Our Gang", see other entry) as 8 yo Daniel "Mokey" in dark, maybe raw denim bibs, bib at quite low position but also other clothes. Also a black boy Billie 'Buckwheat' Thomas (?) in light blue bibs.

I haven't seen the complete movie yet, just a trailer and another clip. Pic 1 is from the trailer, the colorized pic from a lobby card.

I like classics, but he's still too young here and looking even younger (same for the black boy). Maybe it was filmed earlier and he's 8 or 7, he looks similar on the 1940 movie.

I have to recheck it later. Available on DVD as movie on demand. 88 minutes what is quite long for these days. Maybe a typical runaway plot.
