Future film star Stephen McNally (here billed as Horace McNally) appears in this Our Gang one-reeler as Bill Patterson, ace director at Mammoth Studios. On the say-so of studio casting director J.D. Broderick (Bryon Shores), Patterson agrees to give a screen test to the Our Gang kids' talented dog Rover. Alas, the petulant pooch does not take direction well, nor does he respond positively when the cameraman announces that he's "ready to shoot." Originally released on August 22, 1942, Rover's Big Chance could charitably be described as a one-joke film. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide less
