Screens at Oddball Films
Friday, September 26th at 8:30 PM Oddball Films presents curator/collector Paul Etcheverry’s “Wine, Womanizing+Song”, a program of partying-nightclubbing-carousing-hallucinating and philandering mayhem from 1930s and 40s classic Hollywood cartoons, double entendre-packed comedies and musical “jukebox” Soundies.
Oddball Films is located at 3275 Capp St in San Francisco. Admission is $10.00 Limited seating RSVP required to: info@oddballfilm.com or 415-558-8117.
This program is laced with amazing, offbeat gems from the vast archives of SF Bay Area cinema collector Paul Etcheverry. Films include classic Betty Boop + Felix the Cat cartoons, sexist Soundies and rare, pre-code shorts seldom seen today in theaters anywhere.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see the ‘oddest of the odd” as Paul Etcheverry serves up a spectacular and spicy blend of rabble rousing fun!
Films include:
“Felix Woos Whoopee” (1930) Felix The Cat Cartoon. Directed by Otto Messmer for the Pat Sullivan Studio. Felix sneaks out on the wife to booze it up at The Whoopee Club, makes a silly ass of himself and get a serious case of the DTs.
“My Wife's Gone To The Country” (1931) Paramount Screen Songs Cartoon. Produced by Max Fleischer. Directed by Dave Fleischer. In this 'follow the bouncing ball' sing-along cartoon, the moment wife's out the door, lecherous hubby is ogling and chasing Betty Boop-prototypes at his clandestine watering hole.
“Lady Play Your Mandolin” (1931) Merrie Melodies. Directed by Rudolf Ising. The debut film in Warners' Merrie Melodies series. A Mickey Mouse ripoff, replete with oily hair and a belly full of beer, stars as “the gay caballero” stirring up musical hijinx at his favorite cantina.
“The Iceman's Ball” (1932) Directed by Mark Sandrich for RKO Radio Pictures. Clark & McCullough steal a police car and two uniforms as a means to pick up women and crash parties.
“Good Good Good” (1942) This nightclub's attraction is the Eastern European 'Barkley Sisters', singing about the sexual prowess of their boyfriends while a dancer with fruit on her head flirts with the clientele.
“Row Row Row” (1940) Joy Hodges sings about guys who get laid in rowboats to an incredulous supper-club crowd!
“Tails Of The Border” (1944) Paramount Pictures 'Speaking Of Animals' Cartoon. Produced By Jerry Fairbanks. “The Fitzcarraldo ” of dog conga line films, with various canines whooping it up in a cantina spotlighting a Carmen Miranda pooch.
“Hollywood Knights” (1941) Soundie from the 'Featurettes' series pays tribute to top-hatted inebriates who hit every show - and hit on every showgirl - in the Los Angeles basin.
“Red Hot Riding Hood” (1943) MGM Cartoon. Directed By Tex Avery. Animated by Preston Blair. This sensual adaptation story liberates its characters from their Disney-style forest and slaps them in the middle of swanky Manhattan. Grandma's a nymphomaniac swinger, and her rustic cottage home a hip penthouse pad. Little Red has become a red-hot singer-stripper; the Wolf is a model of lupine lechery; and the forest is supplanted by a big-city nightclub as the enchanted place of forbidden sexuality. The Wolf tries to pull the old Red Riding Hood gag in order to meet up with Little Red, but Grandma has other ideas.
