Catching Trouble (1936)

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Horrifying mistreatment of animals on public display, given a light touch by the commentary, which makes it even more disturbing. A shocking indictment of attitudes towards animals in general, whose only grace is that it shows us how much those attitudes have improved since then.

a rare gem of filmography, this peek into the -not to distance past -shows what life was like in the wilderness of America's coastal swamps.Ross is a role model for todays youth on how to enjoy the outdoors like a real American should.his courage and skill is second to none when it comes to animal capture and handling techniques.as a zoo capture team Ross and Ole sourpuss fill the bill for many of a big city zoos. in short Ross is one tough sob. doing all this and filming it too; if you liked this film check out IMDb for his other work also view" hatari" or "jacare"or " naked prey"or any films by osa and martin johnson.hope you enjoy" catching trouble" as much as i did .well gotta go feed my seminole.

We all saw this short movie via the vehicle of "MST3K" pure and simple. Their treatment of it was funny for the most part but consider that in 50 years, the prized liberal philosophy of "political correctness", (which I despise) will be mocked mercilessly by future generations of MST3K-like programs. And to be fair to Ross Allen, he was not a mindless animal hater, but a product of his time and in fact did scientific work which was recognized. Most of MST3K's work with shorts is very funny but you must also remember the era from which they came and in many cases the ideas presented were good ones, they were just taken to a crazy extreme.

This is a short film that definitely doesn't stand up to the test of time. I'm sure it was pretty exciting when it was first released in 1950. These days, it's seen as a man raping the environment. Ross goes around and catches some animals in the Florida everglades. The narrator's pretty obscenely cheerful as well.
