Donald O' Conner stars as a soldier who discovers that a mule can speak, and when he tells the Army he is sent to the psycho ward. After release he again runs into the mule and finds out the the Japanese are making an attack later in the day. This makes him a hero but lands him in the psycho ward again.
The laughs come fast and quickly in this great little film about the worlds only talking jackass (well next to out President of course). Universal never expected this to become the major hit that it was and it spawned 6 sequels!
Patircia Medina is a lovely woman who turns out to be a spy and John McIntire is a General whom Francis actually speaks to as well. The voice of Francis was provided by actor Chill Wills and every time I hear it I smile. These films were and still are comedy classics that always manage to make my day better if I need a lift.
Universal has finally turned out all 7 films on 3 disc set, and it is one of the best sets to come out this year. I will be reviewing all of the films here shortly. Highly recommended.
