The Egg and I (1947), Ma and Pa Kettle (1949), Ma and Pa Kettle Go To Town (1950) We both read The Egg and I a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it - it's full of fun and crazy stuff, and lots of amazing food stories. We both still recommend the book. The movie was, apart from a few high points, rather contrived and ultimately disappointing - the earthiness of the original couldn't possibly be conveyed onscreen at that time. The spinoff, also known as The Further Adventures of etc., was even more contrived and tiring. Strangely, the third movie was a lot funnier and more enjoyable even though they spend most of it in New York. If you have to see any of them, see that one.
