I'm From Arkansas 1944 Written by Marcy Klauber and Joseph Carole, directed by Lew Landers.
A sow gives birth to 18 piglets in the small town of Pitchfork Arkansas. The town comes to host a lot of visitors: reporters hoping for a story, men from the meat packing industry hoping to find a way to increase meat production and some showgirls hoping to make some money entertaining.
There's not much story, there are a good number of musical numbers. The Pied Pipers appear as a folk group returning home for a bit of a rest. Country and western singer Jimmy Wakely appears as himself. Mary Ford, Les Paul's singing partner does three songs. There's a couple of yodeling songs from Carolina Cotton. It's got a few jokes and some were OK. I got a couple of laughs but mostly it helps pass the time. You can see it on YouTube.
