6/10

Pygmalion and Elly

Jed Clampett thinks that if Elly May ain't married by the time she is 18 years old. She would be regarded as an old crow.

Has he not realised just how Sonny Drysdale is? He is wooing Elly May with his lyre. He regards Elly May as the bucolic beauty who needs a cultural metamorphosis.

Sonny will be Professor Higgins while Elly May will be his Pygmalion. He plans to take Elly May from Tobacco Road to Park Avenue.

While Granny thinks that her own love charms will ignite their relationship. Miss Hathaway such love charms are poppycock.

Well Louis Nye is a breath of fresh air as Sonny. Just contrast that with the scene where Jethro wonders where the noise is coming from when someone rings the housebell. Those jokes have become lame by this point.
