  2. Such a heart-warming, peaceful country-film that makes you feel happy. Takes me back to childhood when singing 'you are my sunshine, my only sunshine …' and visiting different farms using our talent(s) as entertainment.

  3. The Inflation Calculator
    What cost $5,000 in 1944 would cost $73,719.13 in 2019.
    Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2019 and 1944,
    they would cost you $5,000 and $340.46 respectively.

  13. This film was cute and a meant to be corny, EXCLUDING the AWFUL scene at 25:24, the creepy ventriloquist with the weird foreign accent [ was he Swedish or German? ] who impersonated a grown man, getting a young female child [ the "dummy" ] he is bouncing on his lap , gets her drunk [as he was drinking]; then he keeps saying "I'll give you "peanuts", which with the creepy accent sounds like "penis"…then disgustingly, at the end of the "act", after repeatedly bouncing her on his knee, the poor little female puppet's underwear falls down to her ankles as he stands up to run off as if he has to throw up, it made me want to throw up in fact.  I watched this scene more than once to see if I imagined it, I did not, this was classic case of someone with a sick pedophile sense of humor, sneaking it into the film past the studio heads and the censors.  This scene should have been removed from the film, it is disturbing to say the least.

  17. I love the music. Especially glad to have been made aware of Jimmy Wallet. I'm going to see if YouTube has any more clips or recordings of him. The print dresses on the women are great, too.

  20. Funny, near the beginning, one of the chorus line dancers looks alot like the actress who played Mrs. Ziffel , Arnold the pig's owner on Green Acres ??

  33. Sad that this is all gone now. Leftist now would label this as white racist white supremacy… a movie of hate. They may have taken over my old party the Dems but they will never conquer me.

  38. Silly movie but cast is wonderful. Ex Tarzan, Bruce Bennett, future Perry White,John Hamilton, future singing cowboy, Jimmy Wakely, Al St.John taking a break from Billy the Kid, vets Slim Summerville, El brendel, Maude Eburne & Queen of the Brassy blondes Iris Adrian.

  42. The movie was funny except for that bone lazy straw chewing hick with the bulging eyes… I noticed that stereotypical roles played by coloured actors had those same gestures and behaviour and speech pattern down pat in movies of that time and it was supposed to be a hoot. But the lazy arkansaw hillbilly did not even manage to raise a laugh with his ludicrous drawwwwl from me. Guess I didn't find anything funny in his goggling eyes and adenoidal speech.
