Movie Reviews of The Adventures of Francis the Talking Mule, Vol. 1 (Francis the Talking Mule / Francis Goes to the Races / Francis Goes to West Point / Francis Covers the Big Town)
Movie Review: Mulish
Summary: 4 Stars
Pardon me for being a little mulish about these movies. I shouldn't have liked them. The whole concept of a mule talking and being wiser than humans is absurd. Still, it's hard not to be intrigued and amused, unless one is so aesthetic that only Bergman films entertain.
Chill Wills somehow had the perfect voice for Francis, and Donald O'Connor was excellent as the innocent foil. O'Connor was a man of real talent, a singer and hoofer (couldn't resist that) on his own.
I first saw a few of the Francis movies decades ago and liked them. I still do, despite myself.
