LI?L ABNER, the beloved cartoon strip from Al Capp, takes place in the hillbilly town of Dogpatch, which is deemed the most useless community in America. When the city is chosen as a test site for A-bombs, its colorful citizens take up the good fight, with lots of fun and merriment.

Singin' & Dancin' in Dogpatch

Musical: From Broadway to Hollywood
Shadow Watcher
Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake

Al Capp's classic comic strip about the bizarre residents of the hillbilly town of Dogpatch was brought to life in this delightful 1959 musical, adapted from the Broadway stage hit.

Lyricist Johnny Mercer and composer Gene de Paul contributed many bouncy tunes that were sung by Peter Palmer as Abner, Leslie Parrish as Daisy Mae and the incomparable, show-stopping Stubby Kaye as Marryin' Sam.

The plot has the U.S. Government naming Dogpatch as the most useless community in America, thus choosing it to serve as ground zero for A-bomb testing. To save their town, the residents must find a reason that makes Dogpatch "necessary," and what they come up with gets the folks, particularly Abner, in worse trouble than before.

The climax of the movie revolves around Dogpatch's annual "Sadie Hawkins Day" race.

Melvin Frank directed the musical-comedy, which features some clever, energetic dance numbers and co-stars Howard St. John, Julie Newmar and Stella Stevens.

Nostalgic entertainment

Great for a trip back to my childhood when I couldn't wait to read the daily installment of Lil Abner and see what the residents of Dogpatch were up to. Great fun for the whole family.

I'd druther this musical!!

Al Capp could not have asked for more when his satirical masterpiece of a cartoon strip was turned into a musical. The songs are great fun the characters well cast and the satire is still apt now."The Country's In The Very Best of Hands" goes one song that still resonates now. My kids love this and so do I. More entertaining and in it's own way just as much of a social comment as 'Cabaret" or Chicago. Only lots more fun.Buy it!!

Lil Abner

Fun movie for the whole Family. Key word FAMILY. Everyone from 8 to 80 will enjoy this movie.

amusingly political

There are a couple of songs that are catchy sung by Stubby Kaye. The story is exagerated sexist, but funny.
