I used to watch Little Rascals on my father’s 8mm movie projector more than 40 years ago. It’s a good childhood memory.
I read that the other “rascals” didn’t like him much because he was mean to them and considered himself the star of the group and was very demanding. But, they were all very talented kids.

Robert Blake was indeed an Our Gang member.
He had a small but memorable role in “It’s a Wonderful Life” as he was Mary’s date to the dance and George Bailey made his move.

He was in the ”
