Taking advantage of their popular radio program, "The Adventures of Ozzie and Hariet", Ozzie Nelson also did a movie on the families exploits. The TV show and
movie are interesting because the clothes the David an Ricky wear as well as their hair cuts are a very accurate depiction of how many american boys dressed in the 1950s. Ricky of course
went on to become a popular rock and role singer and later transformed into a country singer. The film was directed by Frederick De Cordova who became the
producer of the "Johnny Carson" show. After the film. Ozzie moved theirprogram to television in 1952 beginnings its major run. Unlike the TV series, the movie had
a plot. Two house guests (Rock Hudson and Barbra Lawrence) causes problems between Ozzie and Harriet. And then robbers kidnap Ricky. Of course Ozzie
comes to the rescue.
