Lil' Abner - 1940

1940 based on the comic strip Li'l Abner created by Al Capp. Directed by Albert Rogberleell and starring Jeff York, Martha O’Driscoll and Mona Ray with Buster Keaton and Milton Berle, who co-wrote the title song.

Li'l Abner becomes convinced that he is going to die within twenty-four hours, so agrees to marry two different girls: Daisy Mae (who has chased him for years) and Wendy Wilecat (who rescued him from an angry mob). It is all settled at the Sadie Hawkins Day race, where the women pick a husband by chasing the men, who are literally running away.
