In Old Kentucky is a 1927 American silent drama film produced and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and directed by John M. Stahl.[1] The film was based on the popular 1893 play of the same name by Charles T. Dazey and stars Helene Costello and James Murray.[2] In Old Kentucky also features an early performance by Lincoln Perry who later became known as Stepin Fetchit. The performance proved to be a breakthrough for Perry who signed a five-year contract with Fox Film Corporation shortly after the film's release.[3]

The film is a remake of the 1919 film of the same name which was M-G-M studio head Louis B. Mayer's first production as an independent producer.[4] The play was adapted for the screen a third time in 1935 starring Will Rogers in one of his final film appearances.[5]
