| User ReviewPrivate UIf you love Mr Ed you'll love the movies starring Frances as thats right a talking mule, bit dated but hey i still laugh! |
| User ReviewEva TThe hilarious first in the series with Donald O'Connor's character meeting Francis and subsequently helping the army while also getting put in the insane ward. A fun film and worthy intro to the series. |
