My brother watched some of these when they were on AMC about 20 years ago, there was only one that he ever told me 'you gotta come see this!', the kids were with a rich old woman who had a butler, and took all these bottles of pills, and the kids gave her a slingshot and she shot the pill bottles, then she was roller skating through the house and the kids were hanging onto her. Anybody know what this is?

Anybody know what this is?  Second Childhood (1936)A lonely, rich, hypochondriac is celebrating her 65th birthday in the same manner in which she observes the other 364 days of the year by complaining, berating her servants, taking her pills and grumping about everything around her, including the sunshine. A toy airplane comes flying through an open window and breaks a vase, and when its owner, Spanky, comes in search of it he is informed he will have to pay seventy-five cents for the broken vase. Spanky has never seen six bits, much less having it in his pants, so he offers his and his friends' help in cleaning up the yard in exchange. Before the kids are through, they've given the old lady a new outlook on life. |

Thank you so much, an almost 2 decade mystery finally solved. At the time my brother told me that the woman in it was blind in real life, we couldn't figure out how she was able to skate around like that, we didn't know she had a stunt double.

More about "Grandma" Ziffie Tillbury This was one of the Little Rascal's I remember seeing. One of many really fun ones. I see that it's on you tube : but I can't get the link to link. Just type in Second Childhood and pick the 19 minute Video. |

I have seen all of the Little Rascals shorts (at least all of the talkies) many times and this was always one of my favorites. It's hilarious.

Killing thing is that this incredibly old looking lady is said to be "celebrating her 65th" Birthday ! She's barely eligible for senior discounts.  |
