Kiddie Kure (1940)
6/10
Last of the Alfalfa films is best viewed as simply manic insanity with out a plot
24 September 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Door slamming mayhem of an amusing sort occurs as the kids run amok in the home of the hypochondriac who has invited the kids in in the hopes of discouraging his wife from the idea of adopting one of their own.

This is the sort of screwball comedy that had been was popular about the time that this film was made. One of the better MGM shorts, especially if you forget any notion of plot and just enjoy the madness. And it is madness as everyone ends up running round and round the mansion.

Last of the films with Alfalfa, I'm not particularly sad to see him go since his performances in these MGM film were more annoying and musing and his poor behavior pushed good films into the bad. Here the material rises above it.

Worth a look
