Screen legends Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray star as newlyweds whose love is put to the test on their wedding day in the classic comedy The Egg and I. Just after she has said "I do," Betty (Claudette Colbert) learns that her new husband, Bob (Fred MacMurray), has left his white-collar job with plans to raise chickens on a rustic farm located miles away from civilization. Betty tries to make the best of her situation in their ramshackle house but never-ending repairs, a malevolent wood-burning stove, rain, ornery livestock and a seductive neighbor (Louise Allbritton) do not make it easy! There is never a dull moment in this heart-warming comedy that also introduced the beloved characters of Ma and Pa Kettle (Marjorie Main and Percy Killbride).

Great movie. The one star is for Google movies. Stay away from buying movies from google. I constantly have problems streaming movies from Google. I have a 100MB connection and have no problems streaming from Netflix or Amazon. Google is not ready for prime time when it comes to streaming. Constantly locking up during the movie. Luckily I have only purchased a few movies from Google. NEVER again.

Too short but fun. Ditzy woman with no faith in her husband spends most of their first year brooding away from her marriage. Barely long enough to tell the story.

I love Ma and Pa Kettle. I used to have the whole collection. Trying to get them all back again. I hope Google Play Store gets more of them.
