Ma & Pa from The Egg and I (1947) get their own movie series. November 24, 2003
James McDonald (Lancaster, California)
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
This is he first starring role for Ma & Pa Kettle, but not the first film they appeared in. The very first film Majorie Main and Percy Kilbride as "Ma & Pa Kettle", along with Richard Long was in the film "The Egg And I" (1947). They were only minor characters in the film, but made such an impact and was considered so down-home funny that it was decided they should be given a movie of their own. Thus "Ma & Pa Kettle" (1949) was made. In fact, they made eight more films to follow. The films are quite wholesome and Ma & Pa Kettle living on the farm, I'm sure you will enjoy the country-life humor. Ma & Pa Kettle didn't always stay on the farm. They did go to the fair and traveled to the city and even Hawaii. In this film, they finally get to move into a new model home. Wait until you see all the fancy stuff this house can do. I highly recommend you see "The Egg And I" (1947) first, to get the good flavor of the films and appreciate the humor. Enjoy!
Followed by:
Ma & Pa Kettle Go To Town (1950).
Ma & Pa Kettle Back On The Farm (1951).
Ma & Pa Kettle At The Fair (1952).
Ma & Pa Kettle on Vacation (1953).
Ma & Pa Kettle At Home (1954).
Ma & Pa Kettle At Waikiki (1955).
The Kettles in the Ozarks (1956).
The Kettles on Old MacDonald's Farm (1957).
Note: Be sure to catch Majorie Main in "Dead End" (1937).
NUTS TO BIRDIE HICKS! September 27, 2002
16 out of 18 found this review helpful
Percy Kilbride and Marjorie Main star in this spin-off of the EGG AND I, a 1947 flick in which they were scene-stealing supporting characters. The Ma & Pa Kettle series - corny and unsophisticated as they were - proved huge money-makers for Universal Pictures. The hoi polloi just loved watching the antics of these loveable country bumpkins who lived out in Hicksville! In this offering, Ma & Pa play the down-and-out parents of 15 kids who are faced with being evicted from their ramshackle home. Pa wins a slogan contest for a tobacco company, and wins his wife and brood an ultra modern (for 1949) brand-new, fully automated house. Local grouch Esther Dale (as the hilarious Birdie Hicks, a sour old beldame with the face of curds) is jealous of the Kettles' new fortune and accuses Pa of plagiarizing the slogan...Note the the eldest son - Tom - is played by 22 year-old Richard Long who would go on to play Jarrod Barkley on TV's THE BIG VALLEY.
