Little Miss Pinkerton

Little Miss Pinkerton is a 1943 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Herbert Glazer. It was the 216th Our Gang short 217th episode, 128th talking short, 129th talking episode, and 48th MGM produced episode that was released.

This episode is more of a drama than a comedy, considering it has an actual murder in it. Critics say that it would be entertaining if it could be believable. By this time, the series indeed bottomed out and was preparing for an imminent demise. This is the last Our Gang episode directed by Herbert Glazer, who disappeared into obscurity after that. Edward Cahn returns for the next episode, Three Smart Guys, and after that another director takes over, where under his direction, the series finally ends. This was the 3rd MGM Our Gang short to lose money during its initial release. It lost approximately 900 after print and advertising expenses were factored into the budget.
