Avis à la une
They are so charming.
I don't think too many of the current generation will stumble across them, which is a shame :)
Returning from college, handsome Richard Long (as Tom) re-joins his backwoodsy family. Along the way, he finds love with pretty Meg Randall (as Kim Parker), who is writing a series of magazine articles on the Kettles and their fifteen frightening "childrun". The plot thickens when family nemesis Esther Dale (as Birdie) discovers Kilbride may have plagiarized his winning slogan. Thanks to its appealing old cast, the film is a winner, too. Lovely old Ida Moore (as Emily) and "Albert" make a point with charm (on the train); and, the entire effort works as a satire on the effects of modernization on society.
******* Ma and Pa Kettle (4/1/49) Charles Lamont ~ Marjorie Main, Percy Kilbride, Richard Long, Meg Randall
Also, I often wonder if Paul Henning actually got his ideas for the "Beverly Hillbillies" from this film and not from the hillbillies he saw on his vacations.

- AnecdotesAs the Kettles are shown the features of their new home, the newsreel footage on TV is that of the first flight of the Hughes H-4 Hercules AKA "Spruce Goose". The H-4's first and only flight was on 2 November 1947, just 17 months prior to the release of this movie.
- GaffesWhen Ma puts the kids to bed, the covers are rumpled. When she attempts to turn off the lights, she hits the switch to put away the beds. When the beds come back down, 3 of the 4 beds are neatly made, and it can be seen that there are dolls instead of kids. In the next shot, they are as they were before they went into the wall.
