About The Pigskin Palooka
While Alfalfa was away at military school, his letters to his friends back home bragged about how he was a star football player. Now that he's back home, he has to prove it.
Directed by Gordon Douglas, The Pigskin Palooka leans on a strong ensemble — Darla Hood, Eugene 'Porky' Lee, George McFarland — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1937.
