Argentina Hotels Travel - Here Come the Nelsons

This movie is co-scripted by the great and tragic comedy writer William Davenport. Here Come the Nelsons gets off slowly but soon has enough plot twists to maintain interest until the hilarious finale.

On the way there's a rodeo with Ozzie riding a wild bronc, a visit to a carnival astrologer, an impromptu dance contest in Ozzie's living room and a holdup.

This is classic 50s family fare but not insipid. There's a fair amount of romantic tension and many clever plot twists, including the kidnapping of Ricky. The film is well-lit, directed and acted and highlights the unique savoir faire of Ozzie Nelson who would soon begin his television sitcom reign.

There are a couple of hokey sequences that don't work well (especially Ozzie's ad-man office angst) but these are amply countered by the many scenes that provoke laugh-out-loud hilarity.

A great film for the kids and Nelson fans and a reasonably enjoyable outing for everyone else.
