las vegas hillbillys (1966)

AKA Country Music. Country Music, U.S.A.
"The only thing free in this world is your mothers love."
Woodrow Wilson Weatherby (Ferlin Husky), a hillbilly inherits a casino in Las Vegas and think he's hit the jackpot. That is until he sees it. Saddled with a large debt, Woodrow has to turn the casino around, and quick. Good job that he has some interesting ideas on how to do it.
Really a thinly veiled way of getting a wide variety of country music stars onto the screen. Well stars is pushing it, as I've never heard of any of them! But it does manage to cram Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren into the proceedings. Nothing to write home about, not all that interesting, funny or entertaining, but an interesting product of its time none the less.
