Parker Fennelly, Marjorie Main, John Smith, and Gloria Talbott in The Kettles on Old MacDonald's Farm (1957)

Review by Sargebri

The Kettles on Old MacDonald's Farm

Sad End to a Once Great Series

This was the final film in the "Ma and Pa Kettle" series and it was very painful to watch. The thing that made it so bad was not only the fact that Percy Kilbride was gone (he had left the series two films ago), but if you look at this film it to me is pretty much a remake of the film that introduced the world to the Kettles, "The Egg and I". Although Parker Fenelly does a decent job, he doesn't have the chemistry with Marjorie Main that Percy Kilbride did. Too bad that this series had to end on such a bad note, as the popularity of the Kettles would set everything up for such television favorites as "The Real McCoys" and "The Beverly Hillbillies".
