I remember being excited just seeing.the television ads for this movie. I just loved when cartoon characters were brought to life on the big screen. What I didn't expect at the time (I was not even 9 years old when it came out) was that.it was a musical, so as a kid, when the songs were played, I was a trifle bored UNTIL Stubby Kaye sang Jubilation T. Cornpone, then I was hooked.
The incredibly beautiful Leslie Parrish as Daisy Mae didn't hurt either.
The premise involved a military experiment that would turn the scraggly, skinny hillbillies into hulking he-men was fun too.
Remember, this was based on a comic strip created by Al Capp who was from my home town of Cambridge, Massachusetts which I found particularly cool as well.
All the best elements were there as well. Kickapoo Joy Juice, for one, and.or course, Sadie Hawkins Day.
And a great surprise cameo by both the AWESOME Julie Newmar as Stupefyin' Jones, and Jerry Lewis who at that time was my favorite, but that changed when I actually met him.
Anyway, needless to say, I loved it. A true classic that made.me a fan of musical comedies.
