Plot summary

World War II veteran Bob MacDonald surprises his new wife, Betty, by quitting his city job and moving them to a dilapidated farm in the country. While Betty gamely struggles with managing the crumbling house and holding off nosy neighbors and a recalcitrant pig, Bob makes plans for crops and livestock. The couple's bliss is shaken by a visit from a beautiful farm owner, who seems to want more from Bob than just managing her property.

Dated inspiration for Green Acres

Both Colbert and McMurray have never been better

Both Colbert and McMurray have never been better in comedy roles. Fun seeing the Kettle family in its premier here. Playing the compliant wife of the 1940s, the 21st century woman may get upset; relax and enjoy it -- this is a fairly authentic slice of comedic life in post war America, and very funny, indeed. Also, note Richard Long in perhaps his first role on screen. Enjoy!

The Egg and I is an awesome film

The Egg and I is an awesome film. It is about Bob who reveals to Betty that he has purchased an abandoned chicken farm on their wedding night. Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray give terrific performances. The screenplay is good but a little slow in places. Chester Erskine did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the humor and romance. The Egg and I is a must see.
