Ma and Pa kettle at the fair 1952


Starring: Marjorie Main

First movie that I've seen from this series. Great fun. Both Ma & Pa are extremely funny and the supporting cast all add to the enjoyment. Bread with cement, runaway pony and trap, slingshot made from Ma's knickers, it's all there. Would happily watch more from this series.    7/10

Only the valiant 1950


Staring: Gregory Peck

A tough cavalry officer in a lonely fort wins a battle against Indians.

A bit like a poor mans magnificent seven. Soldiers try to stop the penetration of a pass from a fort. The whole thing lacks a little pace and Peck seems somewhat subdued throughout. But there are some good scenes, the action is fun and the whole thing was quite enjoyable.    6/10

To hell and back 1955


Starring: Audie Murphy

The war career of America's most decorated infantryman.

Audie Murphy has always been a favourite actor of min, I had no idea of his military history prior to this autobiographical movie. Fascinating stuff and a real inspiration, very well made. Respect!!!   7/10
