Sunday Cinema – “The Pawnshop”
Since April is tax month, we thought it be fitting to do some “money” related movies for “Sunday Cinema”. All the movies have something to do with either money or the rich/poor…
Yes, we have a silent picture directed by and starring the great Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin stars as a shop assistant that gets fired and all the hilarity that ensued…

Sunday Cinema – “Our Gang Follies of 1938”
Since April is tax month, we thought it be fitting to do some “money” related movies for “Sunday Cinema”. All the movies have something to do with either money or the rich/poor…
“Our Gang” (or better known as “The Little Rascals”) was a staple of 1930’s/1940’s moviegoing experiences. Usually a trip to the picture show would entail a newsreel, a cartoon, a short, and then a feature film. This entry was apparently the most expensive short produced for the “Our Gang” franchise. The gang is putting on a huge show in Spanky’s basement, but Alfalfa decides to debut his opera singing instead of his usual crooning. Then it gets weird…
Someone posted the colorized version online, strange to see the gang in color…
Sunday Cinema – “Li’l Abner”

Li’l Abner was a comic strip about a group of hillbillies living in a town called Dogpatch. It was a fairly popular strip that became a radio program as well as a motion picture. The franchise once had an amusement park back in the 1970’s.
Li’l Abner thinks he is going to die in 24 hours, so he decides to marry not one but TWO women…

A Green Beret returns home from Vietnam to find a biker gang has killed the woman he loves. Calling on his fellow Green Berets, he takes revenge on the gang. The film stars a few character actors from television & film but the standouts are musicians Marvin Gaye (yes, THAT Marvin Gaye) & Bobby “Boris” Pickett (writer & performer of the classic, “Monster Mash”).
