The Ol' Gray Hoss

This Hal Roach comedy short, The Ol' Gray Hoss, is the seventy-eighth in the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series. Retired fire chief Cummings would be feeling left off of society if it wasn't for the kids around keeping him company and helping with his taxi business especially when a younger rival is around getting the business. Well, that rival would be if he didn't get sabotaged at every turn by them! This is quite a funny gag-filled entry in the series with some animated special effects adding to the proceedings. It's especially funny seeing toddler Weezer take many of the gang's exclamations literally culminating at the unbelievable final scene. This was one of several in the series directed by Anthony Mack-really Robert A. McGowan, nephew of usual series director Robert F. McGowan. His work is usually not considered great but here it's non-stop hilarious. So that's a recommendation of The Ol' Gray Hoss.
