Alladin's Lantern is a 1938 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Gordon Douglas. It was the 171st Our Gang short (172nd episode, 83rd talking short, 84th talking episode, and third MGM produced episode) that was released. Spanky McFarland returned to the Our Gang comedy series in the one-reel entry Aladdin's Lantern. This time around, the gang members are putting on a musical show about Aladdin and his lamp. While Spanky, Alfalfa, and Darla endeavor to stick to the script (such as it is), their efforts are undermined by smaller kids Buckwheat and Porky. The film ends on a combustible note as Alfalfa tries to render a song while his pants catch fire! Aladdin's Lantern was a well produced film and it was the last episode to be directed by Gordon Douglas. It was also the first MGM episode to be made with George McFarland as Spanky. He returned from loan to other studios. Gordon Douglas left the gang and MGM to return to Hal Roach Studios. LESS
