Donald Just Simply...Rules!
Frankly I was surprised when I wound up loving the Francis series. Knowing how great (and yet how under-rated) Donald O'Conner was, I was hesistant to see him in this Mr. Ed forerunner. I sat down prepared to hate the first movie and wound up being hooked and disappointed they hadn't made more of them. The mule is fun, but Donald and his comedic acting is the real attraction in this series. In my opinion, this movie is the best of the bunch. O'Conner can take a simple phrase ("Francis says goodbye, you're on your own." "My own What?") and really make it laugh out loud funny. Even an understated twitch of an eyebrow at the right time coming from O'Conner is very funny. He also makes you love his character, Peter Stirling, and emphathize when he gets into trouble...which is always! This series was a great vehicle for Donald O'Conner and a must see for any O'Conner fan. Don't miss.
