One Terrible Day

This Hal Roach comedy short, One Terrible Day, is the fourth in the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series. It's also the first to see general release. It couldn't have been a more suitable outing to start this classic comedy series with the public as it's the one of the first four that fully uses the kids as the source of trouble with their adult superiors, rich society types in particular. In this one, a society woman-in wanting to one-up a rival who had a nice time with her invited kids-ends up having Our Gang for a picnic. What could go wrong? Well, everything as she has to contend not only with them but a big dog, a monkey, and some stowaway kids who weren't invited. Oh, and wait till you see how they mess up the back yard with various geese, horses, a "bull", and the water fountain! I'll just say that this was quite an early hilarious outing for Our Gang with special mention going to Mickey Daniels, Ernie "Booker T. Bacon" Morrison, Jackie Condon, and Allen "Farina" Hoskins keeping one in stitches throughout. So on that note, I highly recommend One Terrible Day.
