Leave your thoughts about The Egg and I.
| The SpectatorVirginia Graham[Claudette Colbert] is often extremely funny, and in the sequence at the local dance-hall, where she has to dance with all the neighbouring farmers regardless of their size and shape, she is exquisitely so. But I resent such a wastage of talent. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyStarring Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray, this comedy about an urban couple who tries to live a happy rural life was so popuar at the box-office that it led to a sequel and to a whole series, Ma and Pa Kettle. |
| User ReviewChristopher BMy all time favorite Movie, I watch this movie several times per year. A true classical family movie. They don't make them like this anymore, I would vote 10 stars for this movie if I could. |
| User ReviewFrances Ann AHilarious film of young couple taking on crude rundown farm and bumping into all sorts of hayseed locals and oddballs. A particular joy is the introduction of the characters of Ma & Pa Kettle--the ultimate good-natured lazy slobs. Mealtimes with the Kettles are a real high point! |
| User ReviewKevin M. WFun movie... It was cool to see Richard Long (The Nanny and the Professor) he was just a kid! Fun movie for the whole family. |
| User ReviewLaura BA great movie, based on the book by one of my all-time favorite authors, Betty MacDonald. My first-graders will remember her as the author of the Mrs. PiggleWiggle books. |
| User ReviewPhyllis MUsed to watch the movie with my Mom, who is now deceased. Classic in all respects; the movie and my mom. Miss you mom... |
| User ReviewDemetrius RA great movie, based on the book by one of my all-time favorite authors, Betty MacDonald. My first-graders will remember her as the author of the Mrs. PiggleWiggle books. |
| User ReviewChristi MHilarious. Ma and Pa Kettle are one of the great comic parings of the golden age of cinema. |
| User ReviewDixie DI loved this movie. Good clean family entertainment. I love Ma's phrase "It may as well be one place as another" |
