FRANCIS JOINS THE WACS 1954 (UNIVERSAL)

This was the very first Francis film I ever saw.

Peter Stirling (Donald O' Conner), is called back into the service, but this time, because of a computer mess up he is enlisted in the WACS.

Francis is also there being used as a lab animal an that's when the fun starts. Actor Chill Wills, who does the voice for Francis also stars in this film as Gen. Kaye which causes a lot of problems because this is the general that Francis uses as his voice.

The movie also stars lovely Mara Corday and the luscious Mamie Van Doren, which is the main reason I watched this film in the first place. Also on hand is Allison Hayes in a small but very memorable scene.

Julie Adams and Lynn Bari are in charge on the base and make O' Conners' life hell until they come to realize he only wants to help the women win a combat test.

This is, to me anyway, the best in the series. the cast is perfect, the comedy is sharp and everything falls into place. If you haven't seen it, do so.
