Historical Production & Location Reference

Film: Fly My Kite (1931)
Stars: Our Gang / The Little Rascals (Margaret Mann, Bobby "Wheezer" Hutchins, Allen "Farina" Hoskins, Matthew "Stymie" Beard, Dorothy DeBorba)
Studio: Hal Roach Studios
Featured Historical Landmarks:
  • West Los Angeles Open Spaces: Preserves exceptional footage of the expansive, undeveloped land and open fields where the Gang flies their bond-concealing kite at today's 3700 block of Overland Avenue.
  • Future Beverlywood Neighborhood: The final scenes of Grandma getting a policeman and the mud-puddle ending were filmed within a 200 foot radius of the intersection of South Robertson Blvd and Hillsboro Ave.

Production & Preservation Note: Highly regarded for its emotional depth and outdoor energy, Fly My Kite serves as an incredible visual document of the West side of Los Angeles before the mid-century building boom. The wide-open spaces, unpaved corridors, and rustic vistas that defined the landscape in 1931 stand in stark, dramatic contrast to the densely developed metropolitan layout occupying those exact coordinates today.

One of the most enjoyable of the Our Gang / The Little Rascals movie series, this movie has everything: Laughs, action and a great storyline that pits the Gang and Grandma against her mean son-in-law.

This quick preview of the complete then and now filming locations video takes us back to when the west side of Los Angeles was still full of wide open spaces - a big contrast compared to today where every inch of land has been built up.
