Li'l Abner 1959 N/R, 114 min.
Genre: Family / Musical / Comedy
Director: Melvin Frank
Cast: Peter Palmer, Leslie Parrish, Stubby Kaye, Howard St. John, Julie Newmar, Billie Hayes, Joe E. Marks, Stella Stevens, Robert Strauss, Bern Hoffman, Al Nesor, William Lanteau, Ted Thurston, Carmen Alvarez, Alan Carney
Based on the hit Broadway show, this is a delightful film with Al Capp's cartoon characters of Dogpatch brought to life. They are all there from Li'l Abner (Peter Palmer), Daisy Mae (Leslie Parrish), and Mammy and Pappy Yokum (Billie Hayes and Joe E. Marks) to Evil Eye Fleagle (Al Nesor), Marryin' Sam (Stubby Kaye), and Sen. Jack S. Phogbound (Ted Thurston). When the U.S. Congress selects the hillbilly town of Dogpatch to test the Atomic bomb, Li'l Abner goes with his Mammy and Pappy to Washington, D.C., to persuade the government to spare Dogpatch by arguing that Mammy's Yokumberry tonic gives the town value that cannot be replaced. Meanwhile, Li'l Abner and Daisy Mae encounter problems in their romance that, hopefully, will be overcome.

Cast: Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Henry Fonda, Lauren Bacall, Mel Ferrer, Edward Everett Horton, Howard St. John, Stubby Kaye, Fran Jeffries, Otto Kruger, Barbara Bouchet, Leslie Parrish, Larry Storch, Max Showalter, Helen Kleeb
This satire on sexual mores is more-or-less based on the Helen Gurley Brown book by the same name. Helen Brown (Natalie Wood) is a 23-year-old therapist who advises women about sex. Bob Weston (Tony Curtis) is a magazine editor planning to write a story in which he will accuse Helen of being a virgin. But everything changes when they meet, and romance is definitely in the air–despite the fact that Bob is married–although maybe not legally–to Sylvia (Lauren Bacall). Problems ensue, which all lead to a wild taxi chase on the freeway where things are finally sorted out.
