The second of Universal's "Ma and Pa Kettle" series, Ma and Pa Kettle Go to Town stars, as ever, Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride.

Once in Manhattan, the huge Kettle brood raises all sorts of Holy Ned, culminating in an episode involving stolen bank money. Somehow this all ends with a riotous, slapstick-laden square dance. The film's romantic subplot is handled by Richard

MA AND PA KETTLE GO TO TOWN (1950)

Clay B

One of the better in the Ma and Pa Kettle series. The duo go to New York after winning a contest and get into all kinds of trouble. Very funny, Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride are great.
