SYNOPSIS:
Four films on one disc:
The Egg and I (1947, 104 min.)
On their wedding night Bob informs his new bride Betty that he has bought a chicken farm. An abandoned chicken farm, to be exact, which is obvious when the two move in. Betty endures Bob's enthusiasm for the rural life, rustic inconveniences, and battling nature, but her patience is severely tested when glamorous neighbor Harriet Putnam seems to set her sights on Bob.
The Further Adventures of Ma and Pa Kettle (1949, 75 min.)
The Kettles and their fifteen children are about to be evicted from their rundown rustic home when Pa wins the grand prize by coming up with a new tobacco slogan. Birdie Hicks is jealous of the family's new wealth, which includes a completely automated modern home, and accuses Pa of stealing the slogan. Reporter Kim Parker proves Birdie wrong and marries Tom Kettle.
Ma and Pa Kettle Go to Town (1950, 79 min.)
When Pa wins a jingle-writing contest, he and Ma head for New York City. They they get in trouble with gangsters when they lose some stolen money which they had already agreed to deliver to one of the thugs.
Ma and Pa Kettle Back on the Farm (1951, 80)
The Kettles leave their ultra modern home and return to the country looking for uranium. Nothing radioactive shows up except Pa's war-surplus overalls. These make car horns honk and light bulbs flash. Ma and Tom's mother-in-law, Mrs. Parker, fight over whether their grandchild will be raised "hygiencially".

  | william | | Pretty good 50's comedy. Like the "Beverly Hillbillies' but add a whole bunch of out-of-control kids! Be sure to watch this series of movies in the order they were made. |
