1.The Ma & Pa Kettle Collection: The Egg and I starring: Claudette Colbert, Fred MacMurray, Marjorie Main, Louise Allbritton, Percy Kilbride directed by: Chester Erskine February 13, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.00
This warm and funny account of a newly married couple trying to make a go of it on a backwoods chicken farm, based on Betty MacDonald's popular best seller, was a big hit with audiences during the 1940's and has lost none of its appeal today. This is a great film the entire family can watch together. Chester Erskine produced, directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Fred F. Finklehoffe in this hilarious and heartwarming film all will enjoy. Claudettle Colbert is wonderful as the shocked but game Betty when on her honeymoon her husband Bob (Fred MacMurray) informs her he has quit his brokerage house job and bought a chicken farm in the country. She figures things could be worse, and they are, as their farm is a ramshackle old place that fights back! After all, there's not another ... Read More

EVEN THOUGH PA IS NOT PERCY I FIGURED IT WOULD STILL BE NICE TO SEE THE GOOD OLD FUNNY FAMILY THAT LOVES EACHOTHER UNCONDITIONALLY ANYHOW. IT RUBBED ME WRONG TO SEE OLD MA GIVE PA THE BOOT. IT WASN'T IN THE NORM FOR THE WELL KNOWN AND LOVED MA ND PA MOVIES. I THINK IT HAD FUNNY PARTS IN IT, BUT ITS A GOOD 45 MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE BEFORE IT GETS FUNNY. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THERE BEST ONES IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH.

3.Ma & Pa Kettle Go to Town starring: Marjorie Main, Percy Kilbride, Richard Long, Meg Randall, Gregg Martell directed by: Charles Lamont February 13, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.46
Although THE EGG AND I, which came before, introduced Ma and Pa Kettle (Marjorie Main/Percy Kilbride) to film audiences, this is the second of their series as principals. While residing in the modern home that the pair had won in their first solo adventure, Pa wins a trip for both to New York City, with their apparent only problem the locating of a babysitter for the 15 Kettle children, solved when Shotgun Mike Munger (Charles McGraw), a bank robber in search of a hideout is willing to take on this formidable assignment. The Kettles agree to deliver an empty bag belonging to Munger to his "brother" Louie (Gregg Martell) in Gotham, not realizing it contains $100,000 in stolen cash and the fun begins with gangsters tailing Pa and the police keeping a watch on the thugs, all while Shotgun Mike discovers ...

6.Ma & Pa Kettle at Home starring: Marjorie Main, Percy Kilbride, Alan Mowbray, Alice Kelley, Brett Halsey directed by: Charles Lamont February 14, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.18
The Indians try to make a fire in the Kettles fireplace the old fashion way, the smoke signal way. Judges are a comin' to award a child with a scholarship. However, who ever has the nicest looking farm and raises their kids in a good enviroment has a chance of winning. So the Kettles move back to the old farm (where they lived in their first film appearance THE EGG AND I [1947]) to fix it up. Funniest bit: Ma tries on a corset. Another funny bit: The town Indians had to read a book on "Indian Costumes" on how to dress (or be undressed) like their forefathers and learn to put on war mark make-up. Mary Wickes has a role as "Miss Wetter". The Kettles also have Christmas on the farm. The next film in the series is MA AND PA KETTLE AT WAIKIKI (1955).

7.The Further Adventures of "Ma & Pa Kettle" starring: Marjorie Main, Percy Kilbride, Richard Long, Meg Randall, Patricia Alphin directed by: Charles Lamont February 13, 1995

This is he first starring role for Ma & Pa Kettle, but not the first film they appeared in. The very first film Majorie Main and Percy Kilbride as "Ma & Pa Kettle", along with Richard Long was in the film "The Egg And I" (1947). They were only minor characters in the film, but made such an impact and was considered so down-home funny that it was decided they should be given a movie of their own. Thus "Ma & Pa Kettle" (1949) was made. In fact, they made eight more films to follow. The films are quite wholesome and Ma & Pa Kettle living on the farm, I'm sure you will enjoy the country-life humor. Ma & Pa Kettle didn't always stay on the farm. They did go to the fair and traveled to the city and even Hawaii. In this film, they finally get to move into a new model home. Wait until ... Read More

I grew up watching the Ma and Pa Kettle series on PBS on Sunday mornings. I was so excited to discover that they had been released on video, I was able to 'rediscover' these screen gems. Ma and Pa make me laugh out loud! I would recommend this to anyone who likes to revisit fun and innocent times.

9.Ma & Pa Kettle on Vacation starring: Marjorie Main, Percy Kilbride, Ray Collins, Bodil Miller, Sig Ruman directed by: Charles Lamont February 14, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
Fifth in the Ma and Pa Kettle series, following their introduction to audiences in THE EGG AND I, this entry reunites the Kettles (Percy Kilbride and Marjorie Main) with their new snobbish in-laws, the Parkers (Ray Collins and Barbara Brown) from MA AND PA KETTLE BACK ON THE FARM, for an adventure set in Paris. The quality of the supporting cast is all that might be asked from Universal Studios, but the screenplay falls well below the comedic norm set by better examples from the Kettle canon. The Parkers have discarded their airs and have asked Ma and Pa to be their traveling companions to France after friends cancelled. During the flight to Paris, a mysterious seat mate of Pa Kettle gives him an envelope to keep for him, asking for Pa's promise to return it at the Louis Quatorze Hotel, where all primary parties in ...
