Movie: The Great Brain
The
Great Brain is a 1978 American movie that seems to have all but
disappeared. It starred the pop singer “Little” Jimmy Osmond and is based
on loosely autobiographical novels by John D. Fitzgerald.
Osmond plays John’s mischievous older brother Tom, also known as The Great
Brain.
In this schoolroom scene Tom refuses to reveal the
name of a boy who set loose a frog. He also refuses to take a paddling. The
schoolmaster has other ideas and soon has the boy draped across his knee.
The movie doesn’t seem to be commercially available,
but is on YouTube.
Picture and video credit: Osmond
International.
