Yet another yawnful entry from this series, unfortunately. The cast are the only thing about <em>'Francis Joins the WACS'</em> that is worthy of minimal praise. Donald O'Connor is solid again, Julie Adams is OK and Chill Wills' move into the live-action cast (whilst still voicing Francis) is relatively amusing. Still, the problem remains that Francis feels sidelined in these more recent follow-ups. In fairness, this fourth sequel got one-or-two more minor chuckles out of me - not that that helps raise the film up, as those moments are few and far between amid a myriad of predictability and repetitiveness. You can also imagine the low standard of humour used here, given Stirling joins the Women's Army Corps. Not the worst <em>'Francis'</em> film, but that's hardly a plus point. <em>'Francis in the Navy'</em> is, finally, next - which is the whole <a href="https://letterboxd.com/r96sk/list/ranked-clint-eastwood-act/">reason</a> as to why I'm even watching this series!
