Trivia: Although not released until 1955, this movie was actually filmed in 1952, so, although it was the last released film of the series, it was not the last filmed.
Main is back to her rough and feisty self again as Ma, after acting a bit more refined in lesser recent offerings like AT THE FAIR and ON VACATION.
There were a couple more Kettle movies to come (without Kilbride) but this one is a perfect way to end on a high note.

I always find the Ma and Pa Kettle films alot of fun to watch and although they could be dismissed by some people as a "guilty pleasure" I feel there is alot to enjoy in the old fashioned comedy that was their special charm.
Alot of their appeal for me results from the wonderful playing of veterans Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride in their immortal roles of the wacky Ma and Pa Kettle.
It's obvious that never once in all their films as the Kettles did these two actors ever loose respect for the characters they were playing which I feel explains their enduring popularity with audiences.

 Ma & Pa Kettle: The Kettles on Old MacDonald's Farm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The second film without Percy Kilbride, this one introduces Parker Fennelly as the replacement Pa. While he does well in this role, after 8 Kilbride films, casting another actor in his role was a bad idea.
This film is interesting as the final Kettle film, the only one with Pa played by someone other than Percy Kilbride, and Marjorie Main's last film.
The story is mildly entertaining, but suffers from simplicity, and a reliance upon the comedic legacy of previous Kettle films.

 Amazon.com: George Washington Slept Here (1942) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Benny was most popular when he played himself in roles tailored to his talents, but although this role is atypical his talents are well suited to the constantly harried Bill Fuller--and he has remarkable rapport with co-star Ann Sheridan, an underestimated actress who shows tremendous flair for comedy as his determinedly optimistic wife.
Both are well supported by a cast that includes Charles Coburn, Joyce Reynolds, and Percy Kilbride, and Hattie McDaniel (best remembered as Mammy in GONE WITH THE WIND) really shines as Hester, their long-suffering domestic who finds herself with a hole in the kitchen wall big enough for a horse to walk through--and one does!
The supporting cast is excellent, with Hattie McDaniel as the maid, Charles Coburn as the wily uncle, and especially Percy Kilbride as the local contractor contributing funny moments.
