"Porky Pig's Feat" is one of the best Warner Bros. cartoons that Frank Tashlin directed. Porky Pig and Daffy Duck are trying to sneak out of the Broken Arms Hotel because they can't pay their bill. Usually, the Looney Tunes characters can eventually outwit their nemeses, but no matter how painfully hard Porky and Daffy try, they can never get past the hotel proprietor, a big, burly, sinisterly, moustached dog. Characteristic of Frank Tashlin, plenty of cinematic camera angles and wild sight gags abound in "Porky Pig's Feat" as Porky and Daffy try everything they can think of to escape that hotel.
Highlights include: Porky and Daffy swinging on a rope; the proprietor falling ALL the way down a lengthy staircase (complete with Mel Blanc's wonderful vocal inflections); Daffy running down the hallway loaded with bags & trunks & Porky; and the popular song "Blues in the Night" accompanying Daffy's slow, slouching walk, having just lost out in a crap game.
"Porky Pig's Feat" can be found on Disc 3 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3. I know it's easy to feel sorry for Porky and Daffy in this cartoon, but you gotta pay your bills!
