Anecdotes
Released in four versions with a different language spoken by the actors in each one: English, Spanish, French and German. The new dialogue was not dubbed in; instead, each scene was shot four times, one take for each language. This process was helped with the aid of language tutors, blackboards placed out of camera range with the phonetic dialogue written on them, and the hiring of foreign actors for the incidental roles. This process was also used in the Little Rascals shorts When the Wind Blows (1930) and A Tough Winter (1930).

Wheezer: [Jack has doubts about his upcoming sword duel with Speck] Whatsa matter, Jack?
Jackie: [with matter-of-fact resignation] Oh, I guess I'm gonna be killed, Wheezer.
Wheezer: Well, if you're gonna get killed, will you let me have your knife?
Jackie: Yehp, you can have it. Hey, if I don't get killed, I want that knife back.
Wheezer: [admiring the knife he's now holding] Boy, I hope you get killed.

Jackie Cooper takes the reins as Gang leader

With this film, Jackie Cooper emerges as the leader of the Gang. He is in love with Mary Ann, but is challenged by Donald Haines for her affections. Mary Ann suggests a duel. The two boys don armor made of assorted tin scraps and birdcages. Ultimately they end up stabbing everyone in the Gang with their swords!

"The First Seven Years" establishes the story line that would permeate the series for the next year. Jackie is the leader, he loves Mary Ann, and has to put up with his brother, Wheezer.

An early talkie bright spot in the series. 8 out of 10.
