Released in 1959 - Lil' Abner is a perfectly delightful combination of satire, music, dance and cartoonish fun - All based on the popular comic strip of the same name created by Al Capp.
Lil' Abner is wonderfully loud and brassy. Its humor is cute and corny. And there are plenty of good songs to enjoy, as well.
This vividly colorful Musical features all of Capp's most memorable characters, including Abner Yokum, Daisy Mae, Earthquake McGoon. General Bullmoose, and Stupefyin' Jones.
Set in the remote, hillbilly town of Dogpatch, USA - The highlight of Lil' Abner's story is the hilarious Sadie Hawkins Day race in which all of the single, young women in town chase after all of the eligible bachelors, and the one that any of them catches is the one that they marries.
Lil' Abner certainly ranks right up there as one of the best Musicals of the 1950s.
