About: Slick Hare   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/UaddQrWXgFRZFtYOtfT7lA==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The title is yet another pun on "hair," from a time when hair slicked down by oil was a popular fashion style for men. Besides playing up many celebrities of the time (including a voiced cameo by Portuguese-Brazilian singer/actress Carmen Miranda), this cartoon is also noted for giving viewers an "inside look" at the kitchen of the Mocambo. The problem is, the view was not that flattering. According to a DVD commentary for this cartoon, one of the writers, Michael Maltese, managed to get a look at the kitchen of the Mocambo, and drew what he saw—including grease dripping from the refrigerators and crates of vegetables lying around on the ground. As Maltese put it in the DVD commentary, "I almost got my ass in a sling!" for this.

It should also be noted that while the cartoon plays on Bogart's famous "tough guy" image, it also recognizes that Bogart was a softer man in real life, as he was more interested in Lauren Bacall's needs than resorting to violence.
