PRIVATE SNUFFY SMITH(1942)

Not a rip-roaring comedy by any means, just light
humor throughout!! C+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

I must admit that at first glance, I sneered at this
like I did the 1940 version of "Li'l Abner", a
grotesque looking version of the classic daily comic
strip. Snuffy Smith, too, was a popular comic strip,
and like Mammy, Pappy and Abner Yokum, was a hillbilly
with Lowizie his kerchief wearing wife. A predecessor
to Ma and Pa Kettle, the Smiths were as stereotypical
of hillbillies as they come, and possibly offensive
to mountain people. "Hicks Nyx Sticks Pix" one clever
critic wrote of films like this, and by viewing it,
you can see why. In this one, Snuffy somehow gets
into the army and the usual banter between city folk,
country folk and military folk make you wonder who
had the better eighth grade education. Still, there
are laughs to be had (particularly those involving
an invisible dog), and there is a cute title song
that comes out of nowhere. On the other hand, I
must say that fans of "Gomer Pyle" will see a few
comparisons and will debate as to who was the
smarter soldier. Edgar Kennedy gives a few good
slow burns as Snuffy's sergeant, as Frank Sutton
did with Gomer. - mark.waltz
