Classic comedy short film (
–Year: 1931
–Year in film: 1930s
–Country: USA
–Who in bibs: "boy" ~8
–Available on DVD: yes
–I own: no
–Clothing occurence: very low
–Rating: 3/10
–Rating: ***
–Comment: 8 or 9 yo but younger looking Buddy McDonald in dark blue bibs (buttons instead of braces and overlapping straps and a straw hat).
He appeared in some few Our Gang movies but probably never in bibs except in here.
Since January 2018 there's a DVD compilation containing this short film (28 minutes) called "Charley Chase: At Hal Roach The Talkies Volume One 1930-1931", digitally remastered (VCI Ent.) and including commentary. Not sure if it's worth buying (for non Charley Chase fans) and I don't know the amount of overalls scenes. But I like this boy. Obviously not available colorized and maybe still copyrighted/renewed?
Update: April 2019.
Update: I've seen the film. Previously rating 6-7 now 2-3. 2 very brief scenes.
