2. He was also in the "Our Gang" (Little Rascals) comedies:
Here he is in an early (cinematic) brush with the law:

4. This is starting to look like a feature length "Our gang".
Lotsa little black folk.
Always good for a laugh.

7. Donna Reed must be a teenager in this movie.
And Dan Dailey looks like he's in high school, despite the moustache.

8. I'm TiVoing that one right now at home... I love Dan Dailey!

9. Me too. Always thought he was underrated.
Very suave and charming in a hip, street smart kind of way.

12. I liked that one too.
Was "The Governor and JJ" like a one season show?

13. Yep, I remember that series!
According to TV tome, it lasted 39 episodes.

And It's Always Fair Weather is brilliant — very downbeat for a musical, especially from that time.
