Ma and Pa Kettle at Home

Even though MA AND PA KETTLE AT WAIKIKI was the last to be released this would be the final in the comedy franchise to be filmed and would also be the last acting gig for Percy Kilbride. This one finds them on the farm with a big city magazine judge coming to determine who will win a scholarship. Of course Charles Lamont, who directed most of the MA AND PA films as well as the Abbott and Costello features, delivers a picture chock full of one liners and prat fall gags all of it good wholesome fun though I must say his portrayal of Native Americans would not go over too well in this P.C. enviroment. Though certainly dated these are still well crafted enough to entertain even the most jaded of modern video weened kiddies and Majorie Main as Ma will win over even the coldest of hearts.
