Review of Five Little Peppers at Home

This sequel builds a fair amount of excitement in its cave-in climax and we like the tracking shots with which it concludes. But otherwise, this is a pretty dull affair with young Edith Fellows playing the little mother and Dorothy Ann Sees rattling off the carefully prepared prattle. Dorothy Peterson has only a minor role in this one, most of the action centering on Clarence Kolb's accept-reverses-of-fortune- with-a-smile grandpa King and Ronald Sinclair's just-happens-to-know- all-about-copper-mining butler. The film would be improved if the few scenes with the boys were completely eliminated. They add nothing to the action and the boys themselves are not particularly likable. By the humble standards of a Columbia "B" picture, production values are fair.
