His seemingly gravity-defying moves are accomplished with the help of Mickey and Buckwheat, who've rigged their pal up with wires and control his movements via a pulley. Gerald exposes this artifice, hoping to embarrass Froggy. Marilyn, however, is impressed by Froggy's determination, and tells him she loves him - only to have the deep-voiced boy faint dead away. ==Production notes== ~~==Notes==~~ ''Dancing Romeo'' was the final short to be ~~filmed and~~ released in the 22-year ''Our Gang'' canon. Its antecedent on the release schedule, ''[[Tale of a Dog]]'', is sometimes considered the final film in the series, as it has a later production number (no. 2866 vs. ''Dancing Romeo's'' production no. 2861) and began pre-production first.<ref name="MGMfinance" /> Along with ''Tale of a Dog'' and ''[[Radio Bugs]]'', ''Dancing Romeo'' was directed by [[Cyril Endfield]] in late 1943, and released in April 1944. According to financial data prepared by MGM in 1956, ''Dancing Romeo'' cost $27,353 to produce, but lost $10,340—more than any other ''Our Gang'' short—at the box office.<ref name="MGMfinance" /> By 1943, the series had ceased to be profitable, leading to its cancellation.<ref name="MGMfinance" /> [[Hal Roach]], who created and produced ''Our Gang'' until selling the series to MGM in 1938, would revive the ''Our Gang'' concept for a pair of late-1940s features, ''[[Curley (1947 film)\|Curley]]'' and ''[[Who Killed Doc Robbin]]''. ''Our Gang'' didn't become profitable again until Hal Roach bought back the 1927-1938 Roach-produced ''Our Gang'' comedies (excluding ''[[General Spanky]]'') from MGM in 1949 and later syndicated the Roach-produced shorts to television as ''The Little Rascals'' (and, after 1950, several theatrical reissues through [[Monogram Pictures]] and [[Allied Artists Pictures Corporation\|Allied Artists]]), leading to its renewed popularity from the 1950s on.▼ ▲[[Hal Roach]], who created and produced ''Our Gang'' ~~until~~creator ~~selling~~[[Hal ~~the series to MGM in 1938,~~Roach]] would revive the ''Our Gang'' concept for a pair of late-1940s features, ''[[Curley (1947 film)\|Curley]]'' and ''[[Who Killed Doc Robbin]]''.
