Toonerville Picnic (1936)
Last Van Beuren Cartoon
This was the last Van Beuren cartoon as the studio closed its doors. This after Walt Disney left United Artist for a distribution deal with RKO, which had distributed the Van Beuren shorts. The cartoon's real star was the chronically ill-tempered Mr. Bang, who was told by his doctor to get some peace and quiet. But peace and quiet, unfortunately for the aforementioned Mr. Bang, was for all intents and purposes, a foreign concept, as a picnic at the beach was anything but. The trolley in which our man Bang rode in, was soon crowded with many more passengers. From then on, it was all downhill for Mr. B. Everything went wrong. As this last Van Beuren cartoon draws to a close, Mr. Bang gives the doctor a piece of his mind.
Gunfighters (1947)
Movie Well Done
I thought that this movie will well done. A solid performance by Randolph Scott with help from Barbara Britton and Dorothy Hart helped this picture along. The film was attractively photographed in Cinecolor. You will have to see this film for itself. This film of an old gunslinger trying to hang up his gun belt starts when someone shouts out "Brazoz! Brazoz" before Brazoz (Randolph Scott) beats him in a gunfight at the beginning of this picture. George Waggner did a good job directing this film. As someone else has noted, Barbara Britton and Dorothy Hart looked like twins in this one. I remember more than twenty year ago, I videotaped this movie when it aired on the late show over some Portland, Oregon television station. The movie, which was shot in color, was shown in black and white. Imagine my surprise when I recently saw this movie in its original Cinecolor format. As mentioned earlier, this movie was well done, and I would consider it underrated. Thanks for reading.
