Mountain Music (film)

Mountain Music is a 1937 American comedy-musical film directed by Robert Florey. Paramount reunited Raye and Burns from their pairing in Waikiki Wedding from earlier in the year. The plot, rooted in Burns' comic hillbilly radio persona, involves a longstanding feud between two country families of Monotony, Arkansas and an amnesia-prone groom.

Reception
Critic Mae Tinée of the Chicago Tribune wrote: "Bob Burns is kinda sweet and Martha Raye is kinda likable and their picture is kinda lousy. I wish somebody would write a real story for this nice Burns person! He's made of too good stuff to be sent rattling around the country in inferior vehicles. His present rattletrap is a burlesque on feudin' and feudists in the mountings [sic]. To keep from wedding his brother's gal, who is the darter of a foe and whom [sic] said long whiskered belligerent insists shall become the bride of Bob or ELSE, our hero runs away from there."
