When you want a mule to give 110%

This rustic film, something not usually made by 20th Century Fox has come down in screen legend as the debut of Marilyn Monroe. She's very briefly seen paddling a canoe after church. As it turns out she's not the only tragic legend in Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! Natalie Wood who plays June Haver's little sister and a little miss fixit is also here.

Young Lon McCallister quits his home and hearth leaving it to mean stepmother Anne Revere and her lugnut of a son Robert Karnes. Almost on a whim he buys a pair of mules who won't work for anyone else but him. Still he's in debt to miserly Tom Tully for them. And Tully is not a man to give anyone a break even with daughter June Haver falling for McCallister.

The man who teaches McCallister about how to work and the dignity of the mule is Walter Brennan playing another of his rustic old timers with lots of wisdom. He also has a nice taste for booze which nearly costs McCallister his mules.

Except for the Francis series, Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! is the only film I know that's about mules. And McCallister's two don't have quite the talents that Francis had. Incidentally the title is what Walter Brennan teaches McCallister to say if he wants his mules to give that 110%.

McCallister and Haver make a nice young couple. Not the greatest of films but a worthy debut for a legend.

misinformed review

A reviewer writes of his surprise at seeing Walter Brennan not in his "Real McCoys" character. Never saw "My Darling Clementine"? A John Ford classic with Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp??? Brennan plays the head of the notorious Clanton gang, even shoot one Earp brother in the back.

Enjoyable entertainment

No special effects, no musical numbers, no dance numbers, but a pleasant way to spend a rainy afternoon. The plot was predictable but acting was adequate and mostly realistic. Maybe not realistic results, but plot reinforced the attitude that hard work and honesty pay off in long run. Kindness to animals is nice sideline touch.

Enjoyable old-school film.

I was curious to see Marilyn Monroe's (one-second) film debut, and when I noticed Natalie Wood's name in the credits, I got drawn in. It's an odd film: an "East of Eden" type soap opera plot involves step-brothers who vie for possession of vivacious blonde June Haver ... and a team of mules. The characters are all quite gruff with each other, there's lots of angry yelling and little room for sentimentality. The title suggests a screwball comedy or maybe a musical, but the film is far from either. The tone is rather dark, with little Natalie Wood providing welcome bits of comic relief. The acting can be hammy in parts. It seems like it should never work, but it somehow does all come together and make for a watchable, enjoyable film. Bonus points for the proto-feminist attitude of June Haver's character; I thought that was a nice, unexpected touch from a film of this era. Watching in pandemic 2020, this movie drew me into its little world and made me strangely nostalgic for a time I've never known.

Actual premier location.

The movie was premiered in Sedalia, Missouri,on a snowy March 10, 1948, not Sedalia Kansas as listed. The only other town with the name Sedalia is in Colorado! Sedalia held a parade in honor of the visiting stars Lon McCallister, Collene Townsend, Luanne Hogan, and Betty Ann Lynn, The premier is still talked about by old timers who marched in it and viewed the movie. While it was the only movie premiered in Sedalia, the city gained further fame as the end of trail town in the TV series RAWHIDE in the 1960s. RAWHIDE gave Clint Eastwood his career start and he even visited Sedalia in January 1959 to promote the program. Sedalia is celebrating it's 150 Anniversary in 2010, and Clint Eastwood is being invited back to participate in a Eastwood Film Festival. The area around Sedalia was famous for breeding high quality MISSOURI MULES, thus the reason for the selection of Sedalia for the premier.

Wissenswertes
This is generally considered to be Marilyn Monroe's screen debut, although most of her footage was cut. She is visible just for a fleeting second or less as she descends the church steps and says, "Hi, Rad," to June Haver's character as everyone is coming out of church on Sunday morning.

Milt Dominy: But from that moment to this here, your clammer-hammer tongue ain't never ceased a-swinging like an old cow's tail.

Judith Dominy: I done it! I run him out. I run him out good and his brat along with him.
