It all builds to gunfire and dynamite and reunified Kettles who not only get to keep the house, they win a trip to New York City too-setting up for the next movie in the series Ma and Pa Kettle Go to Town (1950). The Kettles don’t adapt well to upward mobility, however for Pa, especially, “it’s nothing but trouble from these modern gadgets.” Bridging the country-proud Kettle culture and the world of moviegoers are oldest Kettle son Tom (Richard Long), a college graduate who’s just returned home, and his would-be girlfriend (Meg Randall), a young reporter writing an article on the Kettles’ change in social status. The problem seems to solve itself when Pa wins a fully furnished “House of the Future” through a tobacco company slogan contest. Local authorities, including busybody Birdie Hicks (Esther Dale of Curly Top and Easy Living), would love to see the Kettles’ ramshackle homestead condemned. Main earned a Supporting Oscar nomination and The Kettles earned their own movie, the first of nine, titled The Further Adventures of Ma and Pa Kettle. Their neighbors are the nonconforming, freeloading, chaos-prone Kettle clan: Ma (Marjorie Main) and Pa (Percy Kilbride) and their 15 kids. Money pit meets culture clash in The Egg and I, centering on a suburban couple (Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray) who buy an egg farm in the country. The Kettles originated in Betty MacDonald’s million-selling memoir The Egg and I, adapted two years later into a six million dollar hit at the box office. Ma and Pa Kettle are two of the most famous hillbilly characters of all time, on par with Li’l Abner and his Dogpatch set or the Clampetts on The Beverly Hillbillies.
