Directed by George Marshall • 1945 • United States
Starring Fred MacMurray, Helen Walker, Marjorie Main
In this oddball cult comedy, professional pollster Pete Marshall (Fred MacMurray) gets more than he bargained for when he heads deep into the Ozarks to investigate the disappearances of several of his colleagues. Poor Pete stumbles across the Fleagle family, which has a quaint habit of murdering anyone they consider to be a nuisance. Whip-wielding Mamie (Marjorie Main), her deceptively meek husband Mr. Johnson (Porter Hall) and her hulking, lamebrained twin sons (both played by Peter Whitney) are searching for $70,000 hidden by a Bonnie Parker–like desperado—and they don't intend to be disturbed by any outsiders like Pete!
