Don Christensen gets his last Warners story credit here, and his only one with Tashlin, after working with Norm McCabe. The cartoon's story itself feels like one McCabe would have done, but Tashlin's cinematic touches and fast cutting are better able to work around the cartoon's weak spots.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice sum up, J.L. Yes, the fast cuts and Tashlin's use of Hilberman's layouts really help this cartoon (at least I suspect Hilberman worked on this one).
DeleteDaffy Duck meets Uncle Adolf.
ReplyDeleteUncle Adolf: it was how Lt. Aldo Raine - a.k.a. Aldo The Apache - (Brad Pitt) called Hitler in the movie Inglorious Basterds (2009, directed by Quentin Tarantino).
DeleteAlias, I was listening to closing theme from this movie, Rabbia e Tarantella (composed and conducted by Ennio Morricone).
