Very Good PRC Musical Comedy

Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC) made a lot of low budget, low quality movies, but Down Missouri Way (1946) is one of the best things they did. Being from a small Missouri town just north of the Ozarks, I may be a bit biased but I really like this pleasant little film.

College professor Jane Colwell (Martha o'Driscoll) has a scientifically trained mule named Shirley. A Hollywood movie company descends on their small town. They need Shirley to be the star of their movie. Producer Thorny Dunning encourages director Mike Burton (William Wright) to get friendly with Jane to ensure her cooperation with Shirley. But the movie's leading lady, Gloria Baxter (Renee Godfrey) sees Mike as her personal property. All sorts of misunderstandings and conflicts occur. Will Jane agree to let Shirley be in the movie? And more importantly, does Shirley want to be a movie star? Some great singing and fine songs to keep the viewer entertained.

Soon to be singing cowboy star Eddie Dean displays his fine voice as Mortimer. Mabel Todd plays Cindy, and shows off her unique voice. Both Martha O'Driscoll and Renee Godfrey demonstrate truly entertaining singing with memorable songs. Even John Carradine gets to sing in his deep voice. Country singing groups the Tailor Maids and the Notables also help keep the music fest moving along. Shirley is the real star of the show, though. She is one smart mule and steals every scene that she is in.

Down Missouri Way (1946) is also known as Missouri Hayride. It shows up on The Westerns Channel every now and then. It's a very pleasant way to spend 70-75 minutes so watch it if you can. It's one PRC movie that you will enjoy and remember.
