Nice, Amiable Sequel to Francis The Talking Mule
Donald O'Connor gave a glow to just about anything he ever appeared in. He's wonderful here, too. In Francis, the Sequel, he's back as sweet-natured, newly discharged Army Lieutenant, Peter Stirling. The film picks up where the original left off, so there's a nice feeling of continuity to it. Poor Peter can't seem to stay out of trouble, and poor Francis can't keep himself from coming to the rescue, much though he might like to. There's a nifty scene of Francis' over-imbibing and slobbering affection all over his human buddy, and a brief duet of "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean" between Peter and Francis that's just enchanting. Nice film. Not the best in the series, but a fine sequel and well worth seeing.

I Love Donald O'Connor
People may think movies about a talking mule are for kids or for the insane but don't be quick to judge. These films are hilarious for young and old (even though some of the jokes kids wouldn't really get). These two are two of my favorites out of the six that I own. Donald O'Connor, my favorite actor(who is I think extremely underated)gives a fabulous comedic performance in both of these films. I've seen these movies hundreds of times and they always remain extremely witty and charming. Don't miss out on classic comedies like these.

FAMILY FRIENDLY
The Grand Puba says "You can feel comfortable letting the kiddos watch all of the Francis movies! Loads of slapstick and fun. Load up on microwave popcorn & flop a flick into the VCR! FRANCIS, gotta love ya' baby!"
