Li'l Abner is a 1940 film based on the comic strip Li'l Abner created by Al Capp. The three most recognizable names associated with the film are Buster Keaton as Lonesome Polecat, Jeff York as Li'l Abner, and Milton Berle, who co-wrote the title song.
This was the first of two films based on the popular Al Capp strip, the second being Li'l Abner (1959 film), which was also based on the hit Li'l Abner (musical).
