William Morgan (14) (1899–1964)

If you take away the preachy beginning and (especially) ending, this is a pretty entertaining story of a group of high school girls who rob service stations and commit other violent acts. Most of the acting isn't too bad for this sort of thing, but the actor playing the judge--who has 378 IMDB credits to his name!--is just awful. And he lived and continued to act more than 20 years after this, so it isn't as if he were on his deathbed. Perhaps he was just depressed by the awful dialogue he show more was given. Written by the immortal Ed Wood, and it has all the hallmarks of his "best" work, including narration and preachy lecturing. show less

A toad is arrested for car theft, and a schoolteacher hits on a pretty rich girl.

The Mr. Toad section would be bad, except the title character's animators make him entertaining to watch. The Ichabod section is much too long and aimless, but it does have a strangely interesting sense of style. There's no reason at all for the two sections to be part of the same film; Toad probably should have been a feature, and Ichabod a short.

Based off two separate stories - Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Wind in the Willows, the two 'movies' are relatively short on their own but make a fun package deal with a little more than a hour of viewing altogether.
