A Tough Winter is a 1930 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan. [1] It was the 99th (11th talking) Our Gang short that was released.
Plot
This film was primarly focused on Stepin Fetchit, and not so much on the gang. They just hang out playing in the snow. They go to Wheezer's and Mary Ann's house and have a taffy pull. But they get the ingredients mixed up and make a huge mess. They attempt to clean up but somehow blow a fuse. They then mix the fuses up causing more of a mess.
Due to percieved racism toward African Americans, this film was eliminated from the syndicated Little Rascals television package in 1971. It also had a musical scoring similar to Bear Shooters and When The Wind Blows.
