Original MGM Script Department sticker #1355 affixed to front cover. The "Script okayed by: Jack Chertok / From: Robert Mc Gowan / Hal Law / 3/2/39" at bottom margin. At top margin "This Script is the property of Loew's Incorporated. No one is authorized to dispose of the same." This copy belonged to cast character, "Porky" whose name is penciled at top right corner, probably Eugene "Porky" Lee, though he was replaced that same year. Additionally, throughout the script, Porky has placed check marks and underlines where he is involved in the scene. Throughout the script are the names and dialogue of Alfalfa, Spanky, Butch, Buckwheat, Darla and Porky. General light toning; light dampstain on verso; else in excellent condition. The MGM-produced Our Gang shorts were not as well-received as the Roach-produced shorts had been, due to both MGM's inexperience with the brand of slapstick comedy Our Gang was famous for and MGM's insistence on keeping Alfalfa, Spanky, and Buckwheat in the series until they were teenagers. After a frustrated Gordon Douglas left MGM to return to Roach after completing only two films, MGM began using Our Gang as a training ground of sorts for future feature directors; George Sidney, Edward Cahn, Herbert Glazer, and Cy Endfield all worked on Our Gang before moving on to features. Nearly all of the 52 MGM-produced Our Gangs were written by Hal Law and former junior director Robert A. McGowan (Anthony Mack). McGowan was credited for these shorts, and as a result, moviegoers have been confused for decades about whether this Robert McGowan and the senior director of the same name back at Roach were two separate people or not.

Accompanied by very nice printed half-length portrait on card, 41/2"x6". A temperamental performer, he got along with very few of his fellow cast members; George "Spanky" McFarland was one of the few children with whom he was friends off-camera (although their parents chronically feuded over screen time and billing). He appeared in over fifty non-Rascals film and TV roles opposite such screen legends as Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Bing Crosby, Robert Mitchum and Loretta Young. He also had a walk-on appearance in The Ten Commandments. Due in large part to his death by gunshot wound in January 1959 at the age of 31, Alfalfa is often perceived as a "poster boy" for former child stars gone wrong. He had run-ins with the law and in 1959 was shot to death over money allegedly owed to him by his business partner. Est: $300-450
