Format:VHS Tape
A genuinely funny, old-school comedy, featuring Fred MacMurray as a city slicker gone country boy, a white collar executive who decides to chuck it all in and become a chicken farmer, somewhere deep in the boonies, and Claudette Colbert as his long-suffering, stand-by-her-man, newlywed wife. Both actors have superb comic timing, and their chemistry together-- he blithely missing her every disatisfaction, she gulping back her exasperation -- is quite good. This was also the first movie to feature the iconic "hick" couple, Ma & Pa Kettle, a Lil Abner-ish pair who went on to make several films together after this debut. I suspect this film, however, is the best of the lot. Recommended!

The Egg and I is the story of a city couple recently married, who take on the challenge of an egg farm with all the humorous results. This movie also introduces Ma and Pa Kettle as the neighbours down the road. Highly recommended.

Format:DVD
After watching my first Ma and Pa Kettle Movie last year, I have fallen in love with the Kettles. The humour is still as funny today as it was 50 years ago. The four movies are fantastic, very entertaining, And at this price the DVD is well worth buying. If your a Ma and Pa Kettle fan, or a classic comedy fan then you'll love this DVD. I'm even buying myself a derby hat "one of these days".

Great to see "The Egg and I" again
The real gem of this package is "The Egg and I", and to get it along with the first three "Ma and Pa" movies is even better. Read more

Fun movies, bad packaging
Good news first- if you love the Ma & Pa Kettle movies, buy these immediately. They are very enjoyable little movies- corny, unsophisticated,formulaic, but good clean fun. Read more

If you liked HEE HAW, then this is going to be up your alley
Just because a film is old doesn't make it a classic, and these Universal KETTLE films are really downright awful. Read more
