The whole cast is back for this installment of Blondie. Dagwood and Baby Dumpling are in rare form as they want to light off fireworks and Blondie is so worried about safety that she has forbidden it! This creates a bit of a three way hide and seek with large firecrackers. And the mailman gag...yep! You guessed it, he gets a lit firework that has been tossed out of the Dagwood household!
In order to avoid fireworks altogether, Blondie plans a nice quiet weekend out of the city at her Aunt Hannah and Uncle Abner's country farm. On the way to the farm they hitch a ride with this lovely couple...a young Glenn Ford plays the groom to be Charlie and Luana Walters the bride to be Millie. The couple runs into trouble by way of her father...and Blondie steps in to help them elope.
Fireworks, Dynamite and Oil oh my!
This was a fun, family friendly installment built around the Fourth of July. Blondie fans will be thrilled and I highly recommend this film as irbid one of the better ones in the series. I also recommend the film to Glenn Ford fans as they will enjoy seeing him as a youngster on the cusp of marriage.
