Sweet and Enjoyable indeed!, 17 June 2006
10/10
Author: Damon Fordham from United States

I treasure the Our Gang silents. They were not usually gut-busting knee-slappers that made you howl and guffaw, but tended to be pleasant, likable, enjoyable comedies that made you smile as well as laugh. Great viewing after a hard day at work or school. Derby Day fits that category.

The above poster did a good job summarizing this film, but one really pleasant scene that I liked was where Mary Kornman, as the rich girl, attempts to sneak her poor friends of the gang into the horse race. Despite the differences in race and social class among the kids, one senses an "all for one and one for all" attitude among the kids that is quite endearing today. Oh yeah, the Gang's race is a real hoot! This film appears on most public-domain DVD sets of rascal films-GET IT and enjoy.
