Anecdotes
For the long medium close-up where he gets bombarded with tomatoes, hard cabbage, lettuce, etc. while trying to sing "The Barber of Seville," Carl 'Alfalfa' Switzer was told he would only be hit with soft tomatoes. Of course, when filming started, he found out the opposite. The anger seen on-screen is not acting; after the shot was done, Alfalfa grabbed his brother Harold Switzer and said, "C'mon, Harold; let's go kick their ass," and a fight almost broke out between cast and crew members. It is speculated that the vegetable toss (which was done by the crew members for this shot, not the kid opera attendees seen in the wide shot) was payback by the crew for having had to endure the pranks, tantrums, and other mischief Alfalfa regularly caused on the Our Gang sets.

Gaffes
Except for the ubiquitous "Figaro!", no actual music or libretto from Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" is heard.

Citations
Alfalfa: I'm the Barber of Seville!

Crédits fous
Unlike most other Hal Roach comedies released through MGM, this one features an unusual opening title: "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer presents 'Our Gang Follies of 1938,' a Hal Roach Production," as opposed to the usual "Hal Roach Presents" title line. This short also features unique title cards, when the series had by this time converted over to standardized title cards.

A Wealth of Young Talent

Who are the African-American children that were tap dancing? They were fantastic; great routine, choreography, presnetation, enthusiasm, etc. Did they come from a dance school? I hate that this scene was deleted from the television packages supposedly due to racism, which I disagree. I am African-American and I was not offended seeing them dressed as maids and bellhops. This type of work that African-Americans did sent many of their children to college. Today a lot are unemployed and would love to work in this industry. I am also a musician. These talented children were the highight of the film.
