James Lydon makes his second screen appearance as "typical" teenager Henry Aldrich in
Henry and Dizzy. The plot complications begin insuinating themselves when Henry and his
pal Dizzy Stevens (Charles Smith) inadvertently wreck an outboard motor. Our heroes
spend the rest of the picture trying to raise the necessary 120 bucks to repair the damage
before Henry's dad (John Litel) finds out. As a result, they wreak plenty more damage
before the film's slapstick denoument at beautiful Lake Wopacotapotalong. As always,
Henry and Dizzy scores its biggest points with its stellar supporting cast, including Maude
Eburne as a snooty dowager, Warren Hymer as a cheeful bum, former "Our Gang" kid Carl
"Alfalfa" Switzer as an obnoxious brat and future "Lois Lane" Noel Neill as Dizzy's
waterlogged girl friend.
