Editorial Reviews

In the backwoods of Tennessee, country singer Woody Weatherby receives word that he has inherited a casino in Las Vegas. Elated, Woody and his buddy Jeepers head for Nevada in their dilapidated jalopy Lightnin'. When they arrive, they find that their bonanza is nothing but a debt-ridden dive. Enlisting the aid of Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren, the boys are determined to make Woody's Golden Circle a success. Jayne is hired to manage the gambling concession while Mamie is supposed to be a singer, but most of the time they just hang around and look pretty (so what's wrong with that?). But it takes the shrewd business sense of Aunt Clem from back home to make the place really take off. She books the finest talents in country music for the entertainment, and their appearances form the true high points of the picture. If you enjoyed this film, don't miss the exciting sequel, HILLBILLYS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE! Bonus Features: Bonus Previews, Scene Selection. Specs: DVD5; Dolby Digital Mono; 85 minutes; Color; 1.33:1 Aspect Ratio; MPAA - G; Year - 1966.

This was never meant to win an Academy award. It's simply a fun, classic country filled ho-down film with the intent to showcase some of the better country artists of the sixties. The acting is below average, and I wouldn't want it any other way. That's the charm with these two "Hillbilly" films starring Ferlin Husky. It's nostalgia at it's best, and you can bet the farm-fence that I'll be watching this many times again. Forget the Mamie,and Jayne talk; they were a bonus to this classic clunker. They were never meant to steal the show. Pick up "Hillbillys in a Haunted House" too. That one will do a number on you that you're not likely to forget anytime soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mmm Hmm. A heaping helping of country goodness, June 21, 2004

Listen up ya'll. If you enjoy a movie with good down home mannerisms, easy speaking rural folk, and a plot that's thinner than a Southern fried possumn tail, than this here moving picture is just right for you.

Shucks. You get the same two leading men from the Hillbillies in the Haunted House movie, plus Mamie Van Doren. Jayne Mansfield may have clocked in at a whole 10 minutes in this film. She's saved by our kindly southern folk after she breaks down on the highway, she sings a song in a dream sequence type setting, then she stands at the roulette wheel and that looks like stock footage.

To watch the film the whole way through is as painful as putting your nose to the lips of a large mouth bass. The country songs and 'stars' that perform are enough to curdle grandma's buttermilk. Whew boy, if you like being tortured by honest good time cinema, step right up and go to Vegas with 60's country stars that are as loosely knit as a scarecrow in a tornado.

3.0 out of 5 stars Buy it for the country singers, definitely NOT for Jayne, she's just a guest., March 21, 2010

Silly fluff to present established and future memorable country singers. If you're not into country music, don't bother with this. I bought it 'cause I'm a Jayne Mansfield's and Mamie Van Doren's body fiend but this movie is a total disappointment and her name is upfront (pun!) just to attract buyers who otherwise would not bother with this "movie" even with Mamie Van Doren added.
