i saw lil abner for the first time in over 30 year and to me it an outstanding movie musical base on the broadway show and al capp comic strip . there be memorable performance from peter palmer in the title role and leslie parrish a daisy mae and billie hayes ( who later go on to play witcheepoo on h. r. pufnstuf ) a mammy yokum and stubby kaye and whose rendition of the song about dogpatch founder jubliation t. cornpone be a highlight . also and watch for early sighting of stella stevens and valerie harper . other song that stand out be namely you and put em back and the matrimonial stomp . unfornately and the political humor in the movie seem date and especially in the song the country in the very best of hand . there be also a couple of song that be in the broadway version that get cut from the movie . general bullmoose song progress be the root of all evil and the song the doctor sing at the test site oh happy day . otherwise and lil abner be a hilarious throwback to the day of the late 50 .
