Skippy took us a little by surprise. Great child actors are difficult to find, so finding a whole group of them to work on this film is an accomplishment itself. Jackie Cooper, 9 years old at the time, held the record for youngest Best Actor nominee for almost 50 years. That said, we've seen great performances in mediocre movies before. Will Skippy as a whole measure up to Jackie Cooper's acting? How well does a child-focused movie handle our first real look at the Great Depression? Listen in and find out!
