francis the talking mule









































francis the talking mule was a mule character who became a celebrity during the 1950s as the star of seven popular universal-international film comedies. the character originated in the 1946 novel "francis" by former u.s. army captain david stern iii (1909–2003), son of newspaper publisher j. david stern. after another studio turned down the property, universal bought the rights for a film series, with stern adapting his own script for the first entry, simply titled "francis".
