A Tough Winter

Available on BLU-RAY & DVD:

No review available.

Trivia • Copyrighted April 14, 1930. • This was the 99th film in the series to be released. • Also filmed in German as Winter Wetter and in French as Semps d'hiver. • Leonard Maltin/Richard W. Bann list the toddler as Tommy Atkins. Child actors' expert Drina Mohacsi also tells me she is confident it is Atkins. However, Robert Demoss states at his usually-reliable website The Lucky Corner that the toddler is played by Jerry Bensmiller. This was later backed up by other very reliable sources. • There was another film of the same name released by Hal Roach Studios in 1923; this was a Snub Pollard comedy.
