lil abner be certainly not a great musical and but it sure be fun . the color on the new dvd be outrageous and just garish enough to bring the comic book quality of the proceeding delightfully to life . ( the transfer be sharp a they come as well . ) probably the best part of the film be that from scene one you know that you be watch a film stage play . there be no attempt to open it up and make the film realistic and and and in that way and we have the close we can come to what the broadway edition must have look like . yes and some of the topicality be now flat a be some of the joke and but with stubby kaye and peter palmer and stella stevens in the cast and who care . singin in the rain it ain not and but take on it own and lil abner be a delightful couple of hour .
