I prefer this entry to 1950's 'Francis' and 1952's 'Francis Goes to West Point'

'Francis Covers the Big Town' drags on a fair bit, with that said it's marginally better than two of its three predecessors.

The lack of an army-related plot is a big plus, with a visit to New York City as a wannabe journalist making for a decent storyline. As noted, it does lose steam as the 85 minute or so run time ticks on, but I prefer this entry to 1950's 'Francis' and 1952's 'Francis Goes to West Point'.

Donald O'Connor - even though his character is made a tad more unlikeable here, intentionally so I presume - remains the only cast member worth talking about; well, alongside voice actor Chill Wills, I guess.

Just the three films left to watch from this series...
