Humor is subjective and "Li'l Abner" on film is a product of the Cold War world society of 1955. Time is the greatest enemy of a show like this containing then-contemporary gags and satire that for the most part today, make no sense to anyone under 60. Hey, it's no "My Fair Lady" or "Music Man", and the lyrics aren't like shows today where the singers sound like tobacco auctioneers. If you like dated humor, gorgeous women and some of the most lively dance numbers ever filmed, rent it cheap or get it at your library. There's no deep message here, so turn off your brain, sit back and enjoy Stella Stevens; breathtakingly stunning in her first film appearance as "Appassionata Von Climax", and the magnificent Julie Newmar who IS "Stupifyin' Jones" with a body that won't quit. Fun bits for Robert Strauss, Bern Hoffman, and Howard St. John as General Bullmoose who plays it to the hilt. Look for future TV stars Donna Douglas, Valerie Harper, and Beth Howland in the dance line.
