Francis the Talking Mule
Francis the Talking Mule was a mule character who became a celebrity during the 1950s after he starred in seven popular Universal-International film comedies. The character originated in the 1946 novel ''Francis'' by former U.S. Army Captain David Stern III (1909–2003), son of newspaper publisher J. David Stern. After another studio turned down the property, Universal bought the rights for a film series, with Stern adapting his own script for the first entry, simply titled ''Francis''.
==The beginning==
From the ''Francis'' Book Jacket: 〔Farrar, Straus And Co.; 1st edition (1946)〕
Under the nom de plume of Peter Stirling, Stern wrote several short stories for ''Esquire'' about a nameless, brand-new U.S. Army 2nd lieutenant fighting the Japanese in the jungles of Burma. Following the war, he connected three of the stories, "I Meet Francis", "Francis and the Golden," and "Francis Unmasked" into the 1946 novel ''Francis''.
In 1948 Stern published a sequel, ''Francis Goes to Washington'' with the former lieutenant now named Peter Sterling running for Congress with the help of Francis. Stern gave up fiction writing to become editor of the ''New Orleans Item'', a newspaper he purchased in 1949〔Erickson, Hal (2012). ''Military Comedy Films: A Critical Survey and Filmography of Hollywood Releases Since 1918''. McFarland. pp. 119–120.〕 and ran until 1958.
