FIVE LITTLE PEPPERS MOVIE COLLECTION! YOU GET ALL FOUR MOVIES!
FIVE LITTLE PEPPERS AND HOW THEY GREW 1939
A rare family classic! This is a beautiful movie! While some might see it as simplistic and unrealistic in this day and age, It's great to see a movie that shows basic family values and is enjoyable for even children to watch. It became a series of movies and was followed up with Five Little Peppers at Home, Five Little Peppers in Trouble and Five Little peppers Out West.
FIVE LITTLE PEPPERS AT HOME 1940
The Pepper family has five children. The oldest Polly is very motherly and takes care of the children when the mother is working or tending to other matters, which is most of the time. The youngest a girl will keep you smiling because of her innocent chatter. The boys are just trouble!) The family lives with an old man "Gramp King" and his orphaned grandson in their overly cramped home which they are forced to return to after living in the King home because of bankruptcy. The two small boys and the butler share a bed and Polly and Phronsie share a bed. The mother goes away to work and so Polly is in charge. This is a wonderful representation of a large family!
OUT WEST WITH THE PEPPERS 1940
Once again in dire financial straits, the Pepper family is forced to pull up stakes and head westward. Upon arrival in the Wide Frontiers, the Pepper kids get into mischief in a lumber camp. As usual, the plot is resolved by Edith Fellows as eldest Pepper child Polly, who manages to stumble upon a financial windfall which proves benefical not only to her family but practically everyone else in the film.
FIVE LITTLE PEPPERS IN TROUBLE 1940
The Peppers don't really get into much trouble in "The Five Little Peppers In Trouble", The six are packed off to an elite boarding school. The other students, all rich kids led by queen bee June (Shirley Mills), won't associate with these common public school intruders. Although all six are in the same boat, the focus is almost completely on Polly; Fellows gets to do some singing when they hold tryouts for the school's musical. The story is not entirely formulaic, as the Peppers leave the school rather than reform their snobby fellow students. And June only gets the mildest comeuppances.
The generation that grew up on the "Little Peppers" books and the four films they inspired is pretty much gone now. Current viewers will wonder what all the fuss was about, just what did that earlier generation find so appealing about this family? The films were quite popular during their two-year run just before World War II. "The Five Little Peppers In Trouble" (1940) was the last of the four, which were produced non-stop over about a 12-month period. The ensemble stayed pretty much the same throughout and the child actors weren't noticeably older than in the first film.
