Pa knows a good thing when he sees it.

The film is worth a look.  Here's a trailer with a brief glimpse:

Ma and Pa Kettle on Vacation

It's an unlikely film for a cancan, but there it is as the Kettles take Paris (or vice versa).  The actress above, Bodil Miller, doesn't actually do the cancan, but she fronts a troupe who does.  At least she makes an interesting entrance and does manage a nice little royal flash or two.
 
Luckily, the cancan sequence can be seen on line.  The entire film in a sharp 480p version has been posted at you Tube:

(The cancan starts just after 31:00)

Old Perry Mason fans should look for Lieutetant Tragg.
