Elizabeth Taylor and Carl Switzer…. Looking quite young, but maybe not quite as young as when he played Alfalfa in the Our Gang comedies.
I didn’t know they’d ever worked together.
Has to be a movie cos televisions were rare and family-style programming pretty much nonexistent when they were kids.
Now I gotta look it up….
Wikipedia here I come!
….
what I found out…..
It’s a 1942 comedy called “There’s One Born Every Minute“. They’re playing brother and sister.
Believe it or not, she’s actually 10, and he’s 15. I think they both look younger. He would have recently aged out of Our Gang.
What seems odd to me is that I’ve read that when Elizabeth was 7 or 8, she was released from her first studio contact because they thought she looked too old for her age. Remember, studios like kids who are really 12 but can play 8. If you’re 8 but look 12, you can’t play either.
When she was 12 she already looked like an adult. I posted a picture of her at 12, a while back. But here she looks like a kid. To me, anyway.
A guardcat for a flock of chickens. Guard against what? Rats who steal eggs? I doubt a cat could protect the chickens themselves against a fox, weasel, or larger predator.
“So if you’re not a spy, tell me who won the Worlds Series in 1936…”
I guess I’m a spy, then…..
I’m sorry… I… um….. I never would have guessed.
Do you think that hat and scarf itch when he wears them? Does he even care if they do?
That is a great picture.
Is that a person in a big hat taking the picture?
Gotta be synth.
I looked at it a long time last night.
It looks like the lower station sign is supposed to be Sinclare Oil, but that isn’t a dinosaur.
Not gettin’ this one…
The kid with the ears looks to me like
‘Tis.
Okay……

I made my own with a pair of googly eyes. It resided in a potted plant for years.
And I’ll bet they never gave you a moment’s trouble. Never a cross word. Or a crossword.
The car behind her seems to be getting excited…
Well, it is getting a rise.
It is. It’s all jacked up.
Today they use bazookas…
This was just the page boys, not the critters themselves.
Of course. That’s why they’re acting more mature.
I recognize the dog, but who’s the guy?
I don’t suppose I should actually answer that question.
I think JP’s tongue is planted firmly in his cheek
Yes, that’s why I meant I shouldn’t answer.
So as not to step on the joke.
The world has too many joke-stepping-on-ers already.😁
Thanks. I was really afraid someone would help me out…
I can see that…
I am thinking
I thought someone else, and I was wrong, but you’re correct.
Me too.
That’s what I’ve got, too.
Boy, was i ever wrong.
I thought it was a James Bond.
Like a guardsman at Buckingham Palace.
A guardcat for a flock of chickens. Guard against what? Rats who steal eggs? I doubt a cat could protect the chickens themselves against a fox, weasel, or larger predator.
My guess is that the place is quite warm, and there’ll likely be mice around.
Not as though he’s actually guarding them.
He’s only like a King’s Guardsman in standing to attention, and not responding to curious provocation.
Like your big sister in the back seat: “Does this bother you? I’m not touching you! Does it bother you?” Fluffy demonstrates admirable restraint.
That scenario didn’t end well for a fox once…
Good girl!
Best wedding photo ever!
That’s what they call a “keeper!”
Now, kids: THAT is how you do a photo bomb.
HAR HAR!! Tats a good one!
Hey, Margaret!
The stunt double is Peter Kent.
Recognize the actor.
After all, he was once…
But I pay no attention to his movies, so I don’t know that part.
Oh, he’s quite the comedian!
I’m wondering what’s in his pipe.
That’s a hell of a lot of beefcake.
