Tarkington Penrod Series - Why didn't they make Penrod Movies?


If you've ever read these stories, they are hilarious as is and are told from the viewpoint of Penrod (Wesley in this movie). Instead, they completely ruined the story line to make it a musical romance for Day and friends.

I like these movies but I would still like to see a movie or two based on the actual stories and Penrod - he was a hilarious little bad boy.




This positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms!Terry-Thomas about US 1963.Hasnt changed much!
