Absent from this film is Percy Kilbride as Pa Kettle. However, Arthur Hunnicutt plays his brother Sedge rather well (though this raises some plot issues with the Waikiki film). And while Percy may be gone, Charles Lamont directs this one (he directed 3 of the best Kettle films: Further Adventures, Go to Town, and On Vacation), salvaging the film to some degree. This film doesn't have quite the same humor as the other Lamont films, though, and suffers from Pa's abscence. There is the screwball routine wih the bootleggers that carries some of the trademark feel, and Marjorie Main is still in top form...but overall the simple plot and limited cast make this a lesser Kettle title.

I sure wish that Percy Kilbride was in this movie! It would have been better! But all-in-all this was a great classic movie!

The movie came in great condition and got it quicker then I thought I would. I'm glad I can go to Amazon for all my classic movies

i just love all of their movies and this one is no exception. funny from start to finish.

Arthur Hunnicutt is my grandma's cousin. I don't have to say much cause it's funny, but doesn't have Pa in the movie. The part where the animals get drunk goes to long and we get the funny stuff in a minute. The part on the train is the best. Ma and Pa Kettle are funny because they are people in the wrong place. Country people are on farms and it's funny that they are in (such as) Wakiki insted of the country. There funny on the farm too. Don't buy it unless you are a Ma and Pa Kettle fan.
