FRANCIS COVERS THE BIG TOWN 1953 (UNIVERSAL)

Good entry in the series.

Peter Sterling and his talking mule head to New York. Peter wants to be a reporter, but the only job he can get is as a copy boy. His luck changes when Francis, who is being borded where the police keep their horses, starts coming up with headlines and information from his new found friends.

Pete is soon made into a top reporter but becomes involve with gangsters and a sensational murder trial. There are plenty of laughs to be had in this fourth of seven films.

The rest of the cast includes Yvette Duguay, Gene Lockhart, Forrest Lewis, Larry Gates, Gail Gordon and William Harrigan. Recommended.
