JUBILATION T CORNPONE

Loved this film when I first saw it in 1960. It was my introduction to the dances of the great Michael Kidd. He really put his dancers through their paces. Take note of little Valerie Harper in one of her first gigs and the wonderful Stubby Kaye as Marryin' Sam.
A film based on the stage musical was made by Paramount and released in 1959, with most of the Broadway cast reprising their roles.

Catchy tune impossible to forget!

A Confederate general we can all be proud of!

Stubby Kaye was one of the finest character hoofers in the history of the stage.

My mom had this record when I was a kid and I must have played it a billion times.

[@Jindy2]

Lol, yeah - me too! So glad to find it on YT!

Lil Abner was a national favorite for eons when I was a lad. Now largely forgotten. Would like to see this movie in full re released.

I remember sitting in the Avon theater in Newark, NJ with my older brother, watching this movie in utter amazement while slaughtering a box of Milkduds! : ))

Love that movie. I noticed in the Broadway cast that both Tina Louise and Julie Newmar were in it.

A rather young and gorgeous Valerie Harper wearing the red dress with the white flowers in her hair at 2:28 .

Pretty sure that’s Donna Douglas (Elly May Clampett) on the right side of the screen at (02:54).

Best song in the show/movie!

LOVE it ! Haven't seen this in forever ...

Regressive leaders everywhere learn at the feet of Jubilation Cornpone.

[@coleparker]

I love this movie. I saw as a kid back in the early 60s. Also, my high school music and theater class put it on the stage. Two of my friends were in it.

[@georgeash4008]

I would love to see them try to take down General Cornpone's statue. They would only manage to get the front down and be stuck with the back of the horse. A horse's ass stuck up there, forever.

[@jeffbosworth8116]

Funny to see Valerie Harper in the background

[@hughvane]

Some of the cleverest lyrics of any show songs. There are numerous 4-syllable combinations when Jubilation is replaced. A local church pastor became known as Revelation T Cornpone; and one of my more-dubious colleagues in the 1960s was know as F***ication T Cornpone. Try some of your own.

Classic

[@larpsim]

I remember when JT Cornpone allowed Iran to bombard our troops in an Iraqi military base with missiles. Fortunately, no one died and that fearful leader ran in head under his desk begging for peace.

[@nevadasestamibi]

And JT's statue is still standing despite the best efforts of Antifa and BLM.

[@larpsim]

😂 yep still standing in a bathroom at Maralago

Lil Abner was the first musical I was in at camp in Lynn Massachusetts.
