Love! Laughter! & Cheaters?
Seeking to better her Iot in life, Judy Canova enrolIs in The Continental Correspondence Charm School. lt soon introduces the gawky farm girI to acts of grace and feats of nimble agility. While remarkabIy backward on the outside, Judy shrewdly hedges her bets when she finds her "worthIess" farmland the subject of a red-hot bidding war.
But a moon for the misbegotten hangs over this unlikeIy Cinderella as Judy fends off her snobbish aunt, swindlers from The Charm SchooI and oilmen drilling her Iand for sampIes. Judy's struggIe to keep a roof over her head propels the jubiIant musicaI comedy sIapstick of Lay That Rifle Down.
"Queen of Corn," Judy Canova (1913-1983) became famous with her family's vaudevilIe act before making the jump to radio in the 1930s. One of the most popuIar female hillbiIIy comedians of her time, Canova's film career fIourished in the 40s and 50s. In Iater years she toured nightcIubs, played on Broadway and appeared on TV in "The Love Boat," "Love American StyIe," "Make Room For Daddy" and many others.
PIease be advised that whiIe a great effort is made in restoring these fiIms in their entirety, portions which have been destroyed beyond repair may have been edited out. |
