Shivering Shakespeare is an Our Gang short film, the 95th in the series, directed by Anthony Mack.[2][3]
Plot
[edit]The gang participates in a play entitled The Gladiator's Dilemma, written, produced and directed by the wife of Kennedy the Cop. The badly written play goes comically wrong as the kids forget their lines, miss their cues and deal with unwieldy props and costumes. The audience members, unruly teenage boys, mercilessly heckle the kids and torment them by throwing food. Everyone in the auditorium participates in a pie fight. Mrs. Kennedy observes the debacle and orders everyone to stop. However, Mr. Kennedy nods, giving them permission, and all of the kids throw their pies at Mrs. Kennedy.
Production
[edit]Shivering Shakespeare was the final Our Gang comedy directed by Robert A. McGowan, who was billed as Anthony Mack to differentiate himself from his uncle, Robert Francis McGowan, the Our Gang series' producer and senior director. The younger McGowan would remain a part of the Our Gang unit as a writer for the rest of its existence, even after the series was sold to MGM in 1938.
