Lum and Abner Movie Collection 1940 - 1956

 
Lum and Abner was an American radio comedy program created by Chester Lauck and Norris Goff
that was aired from 1931 to 1954. Modeled on life in the small town of Waters, Arkansas, near where
Lauck and Goff grew up, the show proved immensely popular. In 1936, Waters changed its name to
Pine Ridge after the show's fictional town.

Like several of their contemporaries, Lauck and Goff had the opportunity to bring their characters to life in
movies. The Lum & Abner radio show of March 29, 1940, "The Store Closes to Shoot a Movie," announced
a break in the radio series in order to make the first film of the series, Dreaming Out Loud, which was
released the same year. At a rate of roughly one per year, another five films would be produced in the series.

Ten years after the film series ended, by which point Lum and Abner had long left radio, a seventh film
was released. 1956's Lum and Abner Abroad was originally made for television, with the film divided into
three episodes. Conceived as a three-part pilot for a TV series and filmed on location in Yugoslavia, it
featured none of the staff from previous films or the radio series other than Lauck and Goff themselves.
The series was never picked up, with the three episodes airing as a film in theaters.
