"Curley" was banned from many Southern theaters in the U.S. for depicting black and Caucasian children "playing happily together." Other than that it is a rather desperate attempt to recreate the Our Gang shenanigans, with lovely Frances Rafferty doing most of what real acting seems to be required. Another sideline: I saw this film on a 16mm camera in 1964 in second grade. My teacher supposedly screened it for the entire class in order to prove that instead of disliking me as I had thought, she was "very fond of" me, to quote Rafferty to little Larry Olsen in the final sequence, which was all that I remembered when I stayed up till 4 in the morning to watch it again (!!!) in 1983 on a UHF station. Not much of a movie, but fascinating to me on the two levels I mentioned above!
