Down Missouri Way

Musical hillbilly opus starring John Carradine, Martha O'Driscoll, and Eddie Dean is "out of the rut of the motheaten oatrunner formula and in the groove with an upbeat musical score, a zany laugh-getting script and a good cast... one of PRC's [Producers Releasing Corp.] best offerings to date. It's a hillbilly mule opera with a tongue-in-cheek treatment... A total of eight numbers, all highly listenable and several of sock quality.... Cast is topped by John Carradine who's taken off the leash in his role of a Hollywood director and given plenty of space in which to deliberately ham up the screen.... Story is some frothy nonsense concerning the attempt to find a hep mule for a motion picture role in a hillbilly operetta. Madcap angle is played up in the fact that the animal is matriculating as an experimental student in an agricultural college." (Variety, August 14, 1946)
