Bob Clampett Mystery
This is a jpeg image from “Porky’s Movie Mystery”. It is the last frame of a scene which is mysteriously cut-off. Porky as “Mr. Motto” is investigating the Phantom on a movie set and comes up behind a director sitting on a director’s chair. On the wall behind him is a sign reading “Warmer Bros. presents Four Daughters”. I wonder how this gag originally finished, and was it cut from the original negative? Maybe this will come out uncut on a Golden Collection someday, but until then, wha hoppen?
David Gerstein says:
Hmm. Director in open-backed chair; big, hot stage light behind him; Porky walks between light and director’s fanny with giant magnifying glass. I wonder if the director got a little “warmer,” himself?
Similarly, the Golden Age Cartoons forum has discussed several similar mysterious cuts in PORKY THE WRESTLER. Any idea what those scenes might have shown, Mark?
