Feudin', Fussin' and A-Fightin' is a 1948 American musical comedy film directed by George Sherman and starring Donald O'Connor. Also featured are Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride, (who later reprised essentially the same roles as Ma and Pa Kettle), with Penny Edwards[4] as the perky love interest. It was produced and distributed by Universal Studios. Included in the film is a dance routine, in a barn, to the Al Jolson song, "Me and My Shadow".
