THE OUR GANG STORY is an extensive documentary exploring the intensely popular Hal Roach comedies featuring the Little Rascals, best known as the Our Gang comedies. The thrust of the structure is to cover each of the child actors' careers in turn, looking at their most popular outings and then exploring what happened to them later in life.
There's plenty of context here thanks to the efforts of the narrator, who delivers an engaging and interesting discourse. The only thing lacking is interview footage, a mild surprise given that surely some of the stars would still have been alive in the early 1990s. Instead the viewer is treated to endless clips of the Our Gang shorts, clips that remind one just how funny and timeless those comedies were.
