Are you kidding me? Ma & Pa Kettle are the ultimate in Husband & Wife! Marjorie Main, who stars in many movies, usually as the same ,brash, un-edited woman is truly one of the unsung heroes of Cinema! Her delivery and body language is such that all of humanity has had to have known someone like her! Beneath that brashness lies a heart of gold and she would definetely be a gal I would want on my side in any situation. Pa ,Percy Kilbride,is the opposite of her. His attitude is indeed maddening, as it seems he might not care about anything and lets Ma do it all.Yet underneath that lazy exterior lies a real man with intense love for his wife and family and it dob't get any better than that! I believe that this character study of a truly offbeat family with 15 kids,is a great example of how couples can make it in spite of personalities and circumstances! A must see and a must own! Did I say this family is very funny too, and shows that dysfunction can work!Read full review
This collection of old Ma and Pa Kettle movies is so great. I mean, they're hilarious! Their poverty is taken to a new level of 'red-necks'. Ma is the sweetest lady, who has 19 kids, and looks every bit the part! She's boss of the house and can really make the family tote the line. Pa is a bit on the lazy side but humorous and good-natured, and really makes the movies sing with laughter. A couple of Native Americans, friends of Pa, come in on some good scenes, too. This collection of comedies is for anyone who likes clean, outrageous entertainment. It'll take you back to the days before censorship became a problem. I highly recommend it.
I'm a 73-year-old man who lived in the "black and white" days before television, and the early days of black and white television. My 76-year-old wife of 52 years and I watched "The Egg and I" the day this DVD arrived, and we loved it. I'm building up a small library of movies like this so that our grandchildren and great-grandchildren can see the kind of movies that entertained us when we were young. All of the Ma and Pa Kettle series are hilarious, and best of all, they are "squeaky clean" -- no sex, no violence, no nudity, and no bad language. I guess Hollywood has forgotten how to make movies like these!
If you have never seen Ma & Pa Kettle, its about time you did. Ma & Pa are, what one might call, salt of the earth kind of people. I wish we could all have good neighbors, such as Ma & Pa, that would give from what little they have, without a second thought, if it answered a need for someone else. And if every bride had a woman, like Ma, to teach them about being a wife and mother; and, if we all accepted everyone like Pa, this world would be a better place. Actually, the Ma & Pa movies are something one experiences, not just watches; experience a Ma & Pa movie with your family today. I highly recommend it; just try not to laugh til you cry!
These hilariously funny movies are timeless. They may have been made in the days of black and white film, but the humor and situation comedy are top notch. My husband checked a Ma & Pa Kettle movie out from our local library and my four boys, ages 10, 11, 14, and 18, could not stop laughing. Over the next two weeks we had to watch the entire series of eight movies... and now we own them. This collection along with The Adventures of Ma & Pa Kettle Volume 2 are family favorites. I wish Hollywood would make more family friendly films that are equally entertaining for adults as these movies are.
