Colbert and MacMurray are fantastic together and the movie was suprisingly romantic. It's got good direction, a funny screenplay, and though there are a couple of worthless sideplots, it was an enjoyable movie overall.

Look no further than here for the basis of the 1960's TV series GREEN ACRES. The plot is exactly the same, with city-folks MacMurray and Colbert moving to the country, bringing with them pre-conceived notions of a bucolic life and instead finding themselves well over their heads almost immediately. Congenial comedy introduces Ma and Pa Kettle to the screen; two years later they starred in their own feature, which led to the series.
