FRANCIS (1949) The premise of a Doofus getting in and out of situations by a Talking Mule (also the inspiration for TV's MR ED) seemed cheesy, but after checking out the casts, decided to add it to NETFLIX. This and the five sequels have many performers I like (Tony Curtis, Gene Lockhart, Cecil Kellaway, Paul Cavanaugh, Timothy Carey, Julie Adams, Jim Backus, ) as well as those early in their careers (Piper Laurie, Lori Nelson, David Janssen, Alison Hayes, Clint Eastwood, Joan Shawlee, Mara Corday and Mamie Van Doren). However, this is wretched...painfully unfunny and had a difficult time getting to the end without fast forwarding and could only take 10 minutes of FRANCIS GOES TO THE RACES.
My tolerance only stretches so far. 1/2
