Free Eats

FREE EATS is yet another of the classic early 1930s Our Gang shorts. This is hands down hilarious.

Billy Gilbert and Paul Fix play the crooked mom and dad to two real-life midgets (one played by Mighty Mite, who eventually became one of the famous Munchkins in the WIZARD OF OZ). A wealthy woman decides to throw a party for the unfortunate kids in the neighborhood. The Rascals naturally stop by for the "free eats" along with Gilbert and Fix's midgets, dressed as babies!

The crooks in turn set out to rob the place blind, even pick-pocketing guests every time they give them a hug! Gotsta' see this! Lots of fun here with all the familiar faces. Del Henderson has a laugh out loud scene as he wrestles one of the midgets who stole his wallet! The midgets (and or Fidgets as they are called here) are the ones to watch and Mighty Mite (smoking a cigar!) has a neat closing line. A real camp classic from old Hollywood. Recommended for all of us big little kids who grew up on this kooky stuff. Get the dvd box set.
