Comments

Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! was an insignificant film in Technicolor. Bosley Crowther wrote in his review in the New York Times, the plot that revolves around two mules and plays in an attached rural idyll, was unexciting. Entertaining the spectacle of Walter Brennan as drinkers and by June Haver as a pretty country girl, the tirades of the other performers were, however exaggerated theatrical. Donald Spoto described the story as boring and without punchlines. The provincial -sounding title was renamed by the British rental in Summer Lightning.

The film was the debut of the 21 -year-old young actress Marilyn Monroe, who is playing a high school girl. Also in 1947, Monroe's second film was shot, the drama Dangerous Years ( German: Hazardous years). This film came before Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! in the same year in the cinemas, but flopped at the box office. The management of the film studio 20th Century Fox had offered only a cautious year contract Marilyn Monroe. As the debacle became apparent to Dangerous Years and the producers came to the realization that the young actress would not even make the film successful, they decided to change to edit the film. Almost all the scenes with Marilyn Monroe in which she is driving around in the canoe to see were excised. Only one scene of about four seconds of time in which it greets the lead actress June Haver after church on Sundays with a polite "Hi Rad ," remained in the film. Her name was not even mentioned in the credits. Both films were not a success for the studio, and so it was decided not to extend Monroe's contract.

A few years later, Marilyn Monroe became a star. However, the 20th Century Fox could not benefit them in retrospect. The ability to bring the now renamed Summer Lightning streaks in a new version, and with a special emphasis of Monroe's part once again great in the cinema was not given. The former cut out scenes with her were long ago discarded.
