Back in the 1930s and 40s, Edgar Bergen and his mannequin Charlie McCarthy were a hot item. Not only did they make a few full-length films and shorts, they were very popular on the radio...which is odd for an act involving a ventriloquist and his dummy. But the personality of Charlie McCarthy was so established that folks wanted more and more of him and his antics.
"Pure Feud" finds Edgar Bergan headed to the hills where he wanders into the middle of a Hatfield/McCoy type feud. In this case, it's the Jenkins-McCarthy feud and Charlie spends most of the time hiding instead of shooting.
This is enjoyable and pretty typical of a Bergen-McCarthy film with some bad jokes (they were meant to be) and Charlie being his usual rascally self. Not bad but not the best the team had to offer either.
