Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Tad Pole " . . . and tan (your butt)?" MGM film star Jackie Cooper asks a young female school teacher a couple minutes into this expose on misogyny and woman-hating up in Canadia. That so-called nation (aka, America's Northern Threat) is infamous for having a college system in which failing engineering dudes grab the nearest military-style assault rifle and go A-Huntin' for the Ladies. TEACHER'S PET, the 13th in a series of "Little Rascals" documentary shorts meant to alert the world to the serious dangers posed by gangs of juvenile delinquent thugs from Canadia, probably inspired Today's shooters more than dissuaded them. This TEACHER'S PET episode, in fact, features a whole raft of gratuitous gun violence references which turned out to be self-fulfilling prophecies. And Jack is not alone in dreaming up sadistic tortures for poor Ms. Crabtree's posterior. Jack's pal Chub anticipates the scene with jars of stinging wasps affixed to writing unclothed nuns depicted in the later feature film THE DEVILS (which takes place somewhere in Canadia, if I'm not mistaken): Chub gets stinging ants into Ms. C's pants (about the worst he could do here, since documentary shorts are not eligible to be released with the NC-17 rating).

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Teacher's Pet" is a 20-minute black-and-white short film from 1930, so this one is already over 85 years old. And still because of the young cast, some of the protagonists (including Jackie Cooper) still lived until way into the 21st century. By now you probably realize this is another Rascals short film and the main antagonist / main (grown-up) friend in here is once again Miss Crabtree, a recurring character in these old sound films played by the fairly stunning June Marlowe. Nonetheless in terms of the story I found it underwhelming to say the least. Director is McGowan, writer is Walker like many other times with these Our Gang films. And like most of the others, this one is also really overrated here on IMDb. Even if you are a fan, there is no way one can make an argument that this is on the same level quality-wise with stuff like Network, No country for Old Men or On the Waterfront. Anyway, as for the contents here, there was not as much animal action as in other Rascals films, just one scene basically. The story is about the kids (one in particular) trying to prank Miss Crabtree, but of course that's not gonna happen. I give it a thumbs-down. Even at under half an hour, it dragged quite a bit in my opinion.

MartinHafer The gang's beloved teacher is leaving because she's getting married. When they hear that their new teacher is named Miss Crabtree, they assume she's a nasty old prune--and the kids plan a series of horrible pranks to play on her to get her to leave. However, Jackie meets the new teacher and doesn't realize it's her--and he's infatuated with her! Won't he be surprised when he goes to school! But what about all those nasty pranks?! Jackie Cooper has his best opportunity to shine as a member of Our Gang in this one. And, quite frankly, he's adorable and very good in the lead. Also, this film is important because it marks the first appearance by Stymie Beard's--who would eventually replace Farina and become one of the more beloved members of this ensemble cast. It also gives Wheezer a chance to upstage them all in his small appearance near the end. Overall, one of the more entertaining episodes of Our Gang--and one well worth seeing. It's sweet and fun from start to finish.

Corr28 A wonderful Our Gang short that certainly deserves the accolades heaped upon it throughout the years. A warm, heartfelt, humorous look at a boyhood crush between student and teacher. Jackie Cooper shines as the young student smitten by new teacher Miss Crabtree. June Marlowe, while not a great actress, is endearing and lovely as the new teacher. A well told and well acted short that is rightly looked at as one of Our Gang's best.As much as this short is noted for introducing Marlowe and Matthew Beard to audiences as well as being one of three shorts to use spoken word opening credits and for introducing the "Good Old Days" opening theme, what is equally important is it's recognition as a time capsule. A wonderful look at the more simple times that have longed since passed. The dirt road leading to school. The beautiful eucalyptus trees lining the road. The one room school house. A snap shot of more simple days. What also helps this short is how it was filmed. A soft focus, almost haze-like approach that really conveys the feeling of a warm, late summer day when school was back in session. Classic!
