Judy Canova Fan
Judy Canova was a hilarious comedian who I remember from my childhood. With all of the revival interest in stars from the 40's and 50's, I can't understand why she has been overlooked. As far as I know, only two of her films are available on DVD, and those have only recently been produced. I bought this DVD especially for her movie. If you remember her from your childhood, or are interested in one of America's comedic legends, buy her films.

the groom wore spurs
excellent comedy of 1951 with ginger rogers and jack carson ( who had supporting roles in a number of ginger's early movies). They are both very funny, as is Joan Davis (of course) in a small role. Monochrome photography is brilliant and even though it is a minor film, it is genuinely very entertaining.

Whats great about Judy Canova
From back in a time were watching movies you knew what was good and bad by the clothes that were worn. Good won, bad lost, that was the long and the short of it. Judy made you love her and anyone that wasn't nice to her was your enemy. Dear God, please make more judy Canova movies available. Amen.
