"White Christmas" trivia

I'm sure SSS, Melly, and other movie buffs knew this, but I didn't...

WHITE CHRISTMAS FEATURES AN OUR GANG CAMEO.
Early in the film, as Bob and Phil get to know the Haynes sister, they discuss the sisters’ brother Benny, who Bob and Phil knew from the army and who ostensibly connected them for their meeting at the club. Judy Haynes then offers to share a recent photo of Benny, who Phil had already referred to as “Freckle-faced Haynes, the dog-faced boy.” The photo appears only briefly, but fans of the Our Gang series of comedy shorts might recognize Benny Haynes. He’s played in the photo by Carl Switzer, who was Our Gang’s Alfalfa.

He also has a cameo in "It's a Wonderful Life" - the guy who is mad at George Bailey and pushes the button to open the swimming pool.
