00:00Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed
00:02A poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed
00:05And then one day he was shooting at some crude
00:07And up to the ground come a bubbling crude
00:11Oil, that is, black gold, Texas tea
00:15Well, the first thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire
00:18The kinfolk said, Jed, move away from there
00:21Said, California is the place you ought to be
00:24So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
00:26Hills, that is, swimming pools, movie stars
00:31The Beverly Hillbilly
01:06The Beverly Hillbilly
01:32That's pretty, Granny
01:33You wanna show me how to play your lap organ some day?
01:36Sure, honey, like my ma showed me, and like her ma showed her, and her ma before that.
01:43Sure is old, and nigh on to 200 years.
01:47Granny, I reckon you can whomp up a mess of spring tonic for old Duke and me.
01:52We just feelin' like the hindquarters of bad luck.
01:56I know what a prick of Duke up.
02:00Can I give it to him, Granny?
02:01Yes, and he wants it.
02:02Of course he wants it, don't you, Duke?
02:04Look here, Duke.
02:05Look, look at this nice bone.
02:11Oh, he must be sick.
02:13Well, uh, he ain't exactly sick, Kelly Mae.
02:15We just both feelin' the ordinary, dragged out, don't give two shucks for nothin'.
02:20Granny, I reckon you could brew up some of that tonic.
02:23Sure.
02:23I could brew up a pot of Choctaw root, some cherry bark bitters, some red clover blossoms and sassafras,
02:31but I ain't gonna do it.
02:33Why not?
02:34Because that won't help what's ailing you and Duke.
02:38What do you reckon we got?
02:40Kelly Mae, you go on outside.
02:42I want to talk to your pa.
02:44Yes.
02:50It ain't what you got.
02:51It's what you ain't got that's ailing you.
02:54Well, what is it we ain't got?
02:56I could tell you in three words.
03:00Female company.
03:03Female company.
03:04Now, how's full of females?
03:05You, Ellie Mae, Pearl?
03:07I ain't talkin' about female kinfolks.
03:12Granny, is you suggest that you want, you, Granny, he and Duke is too old for the courtin' and sparkin'
03:20nonsense.
03:20You ain't half too old.
03:23And a fine figure of a man, too.
03:26A heap lot better than them slick-haired, shiny-shoed, sweet-smellin' city dudes.
03:33You're talkin' plumb silly.
03:34You gonna make a tonic, or ain't you?
03:36I ain't.
03:37Come on, Duke.
03:38Let's just go huntin'.
03:40Let me get our blood stirred up.
03:43Depends on what to hunt.
03:46How'd you like to treat a bobcat?
03:50See?
03:51Yeah, that's all right.
03:52We get out in the woods, get to smellin' bobcat tracks.
03:55Reckon you'll get the idea?
03:56Well, if you want to get the idea, you go next door to the Drysdale's and smell some orange blossoms.
04:02I think they're gettin' ready for a wedding.
04:05Drysdale?
04:07Hmm, I wonder who's gettin' hitched.
04:09I don't know.
04:10Must be some kin of Miss Drysdale's.
04:13She's been frolicating around like a chicken in the corn crib.
04:19Oh, happy day.
04:23Greetings, all.
04:24Miss Drysdale.
04:25Margaret, I've asked you not to barge in here while I'm working.
04:28Oh, fishpush.
04:29What's more important than our darling, getting married?
04:33Sonny's getting married?
04:34Oh, no, no, no, dear.
04:35Claude is getting married.
04:39Congratulations, Claude.
04:41Margaret, dogs do not get married.
04:44They mate.
04:46Milba, don't be crude.
04:49I prefer to consider Claude and his beautiful Parisian bride as entering wedlock.
04:55Parisian bride.
04:57Darling, I told you last week I was having a bride for Claude flown in from Paris.
05:02Really, Milba, you don't listen.
05:04All you think about is your silly old bank.
05:07Forgive me, dear.
05:10Congratulations, Claude.
05:12Be careful.
05:13His nail polish may not be dry.
05:15He was just close in the poodle parlor.
05:18He had a clip and a manicure and a dye job.
05:23I thought he was a different color.
05:26Becoming, isn't it?
05:27And so natural.
05:29Only him's hairdresser knows for sure.
05:37Oh, Miss Hathaway, I'll need you today.
05:39Oh, what for?
05:40A bridesmaid?
05:41Oh, of course not, Milburn.
05:44I'll need her as an interpreter.
05:46You see, Mademoiselle Denise speaks almost no English.
05:50Very few poodles do.
05:53Oh, really, Milburn.
05:55You just don't pay attention.
05:58Mademoiselle Denise is the owner of Claude's bride-to-be.
06:01She's spying her here personally for the nachos.
06:04Well, let's all go home and meet the bride.
06:13Well, don't you want to be there?
06:15Oh, more than anything else in the world, dear,
06:17but I'd better stay here and work.
06:19After all, I have Claude's wedding to pay for,
06:22and soon there'll be other little mouths to feed.
06:24Oh, yes.
06:26Isn't that a thrilling thought?
06:29Milburn, people won't call me a grandmother, will they?
06:32Oh, of course not, dear.
06:34Of course not.
06:39I'll call you a nut.
06:56Pardon, monsieur.
06:58Est-ce que c'est la maison de Madame Drysdale?
07:00Excuse me, ma'am, but I didn't quite get what you said there.
07:04Is, uh, this the Drysdale home?
07:07Oh, no, ma'am, uh, Drysdale place is, uh, next one over yonder.
07:13Yonder?
07:14Nine of the tall trees there.
07:15Come this way, and I'll show it to you.
07:20Now, the sight twixt them first and second trees there,
07:23you'll catch you a glimpse of the Drysdale house.
07:27See?
07:28Ah, oui.
07:31Hey, come, Mike, further, and you can see more of it.
07:56You can see more of it.
08:01No offense, ma'am, but you're kind of hard to understand.
08:03Where about you from?
08:05Oh, well, I bet you it's a nice place.
08:11Au revoir.
08:12Yeah, well, thank you.
08:14Same to you and many more of them.
08:25Uh, you might a handsome-looking woman.
08:28Smell pretty, too, didn't you, Duke?
08:31Duke.
08:32Where'd you go, Duke?
08:33Granny?
08:35Granny.
08:36Granny!
08:38Yeah, Pearl?
08:39Do you know who's got a secret, sweetheart?
08:43No, Pearl.
08:44But hum it for me.
08:45I'll pick it up.
08:47It ain't a song, Granny.
08:50It's Jen.
08:51She's got a lady friend.
08:52And she's pretty, too.
08:55Well, the old rooster took my advice.
08:59Hey, Granny, hey, Pearl.
09:00Look at old Duke.
09:01He's got a new friend.
09:03Well, five dinghies, they both took my advice.
09:08I reckon maybe I'll take it next myself.
09:19Paul, have you seen Duke's new friend's cotton patch?
09:22Oh, no, I ain't.
09:23Come on up here.
09:23Let's take a look at you.
09:25She's pretty.
09:26I named her cotton patch because her hair grows in clump.
09:29Well, I reckon it was clipped that way, Ellie Mae,
09:31but the fellow that done it
09:32must have had the clippers in one hand
09:34and a jug or another.
09:35He missed the biggest part of her.
09:38Oh, Duke sure has took a fancy tour.
09:40He dug up four of his best bones and give them to her.
09:43She done a lot for Duke, too.
09:44Before she come along,
09:46Duke was feeling lower in a snake's belly
09:48in a wagon rut, but look at him now.
09:50Yeah.
09:51Oh, look at this here collar
09:54that cotton patch was wearing.
09:55I was afraid she'd catch it in the bushes
09:57running after Duke, so I took it off.
09:59Hmm, ain't that fancy.
10:01Duke, are you sure you ain't after that girl
10:04just for her money?
10:07That comes in diamonds, pal?
10:09Might could be.
10:10Ellie Mae, this dog belongs to somebody.
10:13Somebody that sets a great store by her, too.
10:15Folks, don't just get...
10:27Colette!
10:28Colette!
10:29Quelle homme merveilleux!
10:31Vous avez trouvé mon chien?
10:32Bienvenue!
10:33I reckon this must be the party
10:35that owns cotton patch.
10:36I'll put her in the car for you, ma'am.
10:43There you are, ma'am.
10:48Pearl Bodine, shame on you.
10:50You gonna spy on your own cousin?
10:53I sure am.
10:55Me too.
10:57Oh, monsieur, je ne sais pas comment vous remercier,
11:01mais peut-être que ça vous démontre
11:03mes vrais sentiments.
11:09Oh, uh, say, ma'am, uh, here's something
11:12I reckon you'd like to have.
11:14Oh, monsieur.
11:15Je vous remercie encore une fois.
11:18Ah, mille fois merci.
11:23Merci, mon ami.
11:25You see what I'd give her?
11:26A diamond choker.
11:27A diamond choker.
11:28Yeah.
11:28Must have cost old Janet a fortune.
11:31Yes, we come.
11:39You can have this place a-shining.
11:44Hey, Granny?
11:45Yeah, Pearl?
11:46When you had a beau driving up in a fancy car
11:49and a-hugging and a-kissing you,
11:52uh, wouldn't you want your kinfolk to meet that beau?
11:55I sure would, Pearl.
11:57Especially if I was given that beau expensive presents.
12:02You mean like a diamond choker?
12:04That's what I mean.
12:06You know, I hear tell that French women
12:10is real fond of jewelry.
12:15If you two are trying to make something
12:17out of what just happened outside,
12:18you can leave off before you get started.
12:20All I was doing was returning that lady's dog
12:23and that diamond choker was the dog's collar.
12:31I don't know, I don't know.
12:32Here we are.
12:33The bridal sweep.
12:35I do hope you'll like it.
12:47This is such a beautiful moment.
12:49I just know I'm going to cry.
12:52I don't know.
12:58Oh, Claude, you handsome groom.
13:03Your lovely bride is waiting.
13:10It's that horrible hillbilly bee.
13:24Jay, came home quick as I could. We going hunting now?
13:28Uh, you go, Jethro. I don't feel much like hunting.
13:31But that's why you said you wanted to go.
13:33You said you and old Duke was feeling all dragged out and ornery,
13:35and you wanted to go hunting to get your blood to stir, and that's what you said.
13:38Well, I ain't saying it now. Why don't you go ahead without me?
13:40But I don't need to go hunting to stir my blood. It's already stirring.
13:43Well, then stir it some more.
13:45Why don't you keep turning away from me, Uncle Jay?
13:50Done shaved.
13:52Hey, Mom, Granny, Ellie Mae.
13:54Come see Uncle Jay shaved in the middle of the day.
13:58Jethro, hush.
13:59Ain't you never seen a man with a shave before?
14:02Not you.
14:02Not unless there's a wedding or a funeral to go to.
14:06Looky honored Uncle Jay.
14:09Great clogs of buggy dogs.
14:11He's got mold off his stubble.
14:15Pimmed his mustache.
14:16In the middle of the day.
14:19Tarnation.
14:20Looky there.
14:21Oh, you're pretty.
14:23Ain't it stylish?
14:25It's got smell-em on it.
14:28Things will come to a sorry state when a man can't shave his face and comb his hair without his
14:32family cackling like a bunch of chickens at a new worm.
14:36Why?
14:37Cousin Jed.
14:38That ain't a nice thing to call your sweetie.
14:41You Jed got a sweetie?
14:43Seeky woman.
14:44Foxburn.
14:45Drives a sporty car.
14:47That is to the peak.
14:49Where's jewelry?
14:50Give to her by your Uncle Romeo.
14:53Oh, I mean Jed.
14:55Diggity.
14:56Oh, am I gonna have a new mom?
14:58Oh, you ain't.
14:59I ain't gonna listen to more of this, uh, nonsense talk.
15:14All right, ladies.
15:19Madame-Posal Denise, Monsieur Clampet.
15:22Nous ne connaissons.
15:24Oh, oh, you two have met.
15:26Yes, ma'am.
15:27Mais Monsieur Clampet a changé.
15:29She says you look different.
15:31Oh, shucks.
15:32Just cause I mowed off my whiskers and combed my hair.
15:36Very becoming.
15:38Oh, well, you can duke here.
15:39He's upsetting the wedding ceremony at the Drysdale's.
15:43It ain't her, it's getting married, is it?
15:45Oh, no, indeed.
15:47Monsieur.
15:50We have to hurry.
15:53Now, you will keep you care.
15:55Yes, ma'am.
15:56Mr. Clampet garderai le chien ici.
15:59Ah, vous êtes toujours si amable et obligeante.
16:16Oh, mademoiselle Denise is calming the bride's nerves.
16:19They'll be right in.
16:20Good, good.
16:21This delay is so difficult for Claude.
16:24I hope he doesn't get one of his migraines.
16:26Well, the perfume.
16:28I want to eradicate every vestige of that hurried beast from next door.
16:32Claude must never know.
16:34What in the name of FHA is this?
16:37You've come for the ceremony.
16:39No, I've come for my secretary.
16:41Margaret, this used to be my den.
16:44And there's where my TV set was.
16:46And now it's a love nest for Claude and his beautiful bride.
16:51No, when doesn't it thrill you?
16:53I can hardly stand it.
16:59This is mademoiselle Denise.
17:01And this is my...
17:01Yes, yes, we've met.
17:03Come on, Miss Hathaway.
17:04Let's get back to the bank.
17:05Oh, no, no, dear.
17:05Claude is about to meet his new bride.
17:07Would you like to give her away?
17:09Can I give them both away?
17:10Oh, dear boy.
17:12Darling, you bring Claude in.
17:14He'll feel more secure with his daddams at his side.
17:22Qu'est-ce que ce que ça?
17:24Oh, the dog next to...
17:27Le chien de nos voisins.
17:28Duc.
17:29I'll close the window so that we...
17:31Oh, here's the handsome groom.
17:34This is a magic moment.
17:38Ah!
17:39Ah!
17:40Put it!
17:41Put it!
17:41Put it here!
17:42Oh, what a cruel blow!
17:45Quick, Milburn.
17:46Call the psychiatrist.
17:49Yours or his?
17:58Ed!
18:01Ed!
18:02Is we going hunting or are you going courting?
18:05What are you talking about?
18:05I ain't going courting.
18:06Then we's going hunting.
18:08Doug, I didn't want to go hunting.
18:10Now, you go yourself and take Duke with you.
18:12Well, Duke don't want to go hunting.
18:14Well, he's outside right now frisking around with that there white dog that Ellie Mae calls Cotton Patch.
18:18Is she there?
18:19She sure is.
18:21Old Duke's happier than a cat at a fish fry.
18:23She's running and jumping and just playing around and...
18:27What are you holding under the table, Uncle Jay?
18:29None of your business.
18:30Now, get out!
18:32You're polishing your shoes!
18:35Hey, Ma!
18:36Granny Ellie Mae!
18:38Uncle Jay's polishing his shoes and it ain't even Sunday!
18:41You do make more racket than a jackass in a tin bar!
18:46Well, this is the nosiest family a man was ever burdened with.
18:51Well, look at them shoes.
18:53All fresh oiled.
18:54That's in your laces, too.
18:56And them's his best socks.
18:58And it ain't even Sunday!
19:00Every day is Sunday when you're in love.
19:03Now, that takes a rag off in the bush.
19:06I ate in love and I just oiled my shoes because they were squeaking.
19:10They been squeaking for 15 years, as I remember.
19:13You ain't never oiled them.
19:15John, you go and get outside.
19:17Granny and me's got some grown-up things to say.
19:20I ain't going to listen to no more fools...
19:21Now, Dad, you're rotten all to fight against romance.
19:25You're still young and good-looking.
19:27And you're rich, too.
19:29Yeah.
19:30Now, with that, you don't need young and good-looking.
19:33That reminds me.
19:35I dug something out of the mothballs for you.
19:38Ha-ha! Ha-ha!
19:39Ha-ho!
20:01Ha-ha!
20:08Ha-ha!
20:09Ha-ha!
20:09Ha-ha!
20:09Ha-ha!
20:09Ha-ha!
20:20Ha-ha!
20:23Ha-ha!
20:30Ha-ha!
20:31Ha-ha!
20:32Ha-ha!
20:36Ha-ha!
20:37Ha-ha!
20:38Ha-ha!
20:38Ha-ha!
20:39Ha-ha!
20:40Ha-ha!
20:41Ha-ha!
20:41Ha-ha!
20:41Ha-ha!
20:42Ha-ha!
20:50Ha-ha!
20:52Ha-ha!
20:58I want to take that dog back to the Drysdale's, and Duke, you're coming along.
21:02What?
21:02It seems to me that critters ought to have the same right as people to pick their own company.
21:07But we're going over there, and Cotton Patch, you can make up your mind who you want to court.
21:13Just like I made up mine.
21:48Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin.
21:52They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in.
21:56We're all invited back next week to this locality to have a heaping helping of their hospitality.
22:03Hillbilly, that is.
22:05Set a spell.
22:06Take your shoes off.
22:08Y'all come back now.
22:09Yeah?
22:20This has been a Filmways presentation.
