Our Gang star Dick Jones
squeezed in a few minutes to sit down with Mike David and roving
reporter Steve Wichrowski at the recent Williamsburg Film Festival
in March 2009. In this interview you'll hear him talk about a
specific scene in the Our Gang short "The Pigskin Palooka" which was
filmed from September 18 - 25, 1937. He also tells us about going to
school with the other Our Gang members at the Roach Studio.
The timing of this new interview was significant since it occurred
during the week when Walt Disney released the 70th Anniversary DVD
edition of the 1940 classic "Pinocchio", and it was a youthful Dick
Jones who provided the voice for the title character.
