Review(s): DVD The Adventures of Ma & Pa Kettle - Volume 1
The Egg and I
I mostly bought this one to have a copy of "The Egg and I" with Claudette Coulbert and Fred McMurray. All of the movies are delightful, but "The Egg and I" tops them all. It's worth buying the whole set just to have this one. A story of newly weds who decide to start life an a very run down farm. It's full of humor as they try to fix up the place and mostly just survive! The Kettles are an added delight as co-stars and they are the main event in all the other movies.
Bringing back the memories ...
I grew up watching these movies in black and white on TV and the memories that were evoked by watching them again on DVD were legion. Fred McMurry, Claudette Colbert, Percy Kilbride and Marjorie Main created four wonderful characters in "The Egg and I" and Percy Kilbride and Marjorie Main and their 13 absolutely amazing children (one of whom is played by Roger "007" Moore) bring you three more adventures that will have you, literally, "rolling in the aisles" laughing.
Very Good
Enjoyed being able to watch a show that we didn't have to worry about the content. Everything was good clean fun and upheld family togetherness and values.

Percy Kilbride, Marjorie Main and their 13 amazing children continue to bring joy and entertainment in these remaining four classic movies. Marjorie Main shows the range of her talent and her beauty while Percy Kilbride keeps you wondering what he will be up to next. These movies also showcase a number of "stars" such as the talented and comedic "Hilo Hatty." I recommend this DVD for those who enjoy a trip down memory lane ...

I loved the Francis Movies - the before Mr. Ed of the movies. Francis was a wise-cracking, know it all mule, with the voice of the great Chill Wills. Donald O'Connell was Francis' sidekick and they had simply FUN adventures. Most are seldom, if ever seen in the last couple of decades, so this will be a great trip for those who remember them and a chance for children and grandchildren to discover them.
Volume 1 - is for full-length movies
1. Francis the Talking Mule
2. Francis goes to the Races
3. Francis goes to West Point (with William Reynolds and small part by Leonard Nemoy)
4. Francis Cover the Big Town
They are Black and White - for those unfamiliar with the Francis movies, though later ones were in colour.

I've become addicted to Abbott and Costello films since discovering this DVD set and the ones that followed. There was a day when comedy was creative, silly, and clean, and that time is captured on these DVDs. Anyone who wants a good laugh should check them out, especially the movies "Hold that Ghost" and "In The Navy." More Info about this DVD Director(s): Arthur Lubin - A. Edward Sutherland - Erle C.

I love Abbott and Costello, but these "Best of's" released by Universal are so pathetic it isn't even funny. They are flipper discs, and they are so easily damaged and cheaply made that they aren't good for anybody. I loved the movies in these sets, but come on Universal, stop using these cheap discs and use single sided discs. More Info about this DVD Director(s): Charles Barton - Daniel Helfgott - Erle C.
