Curator/Collector Paul Etcheverry in Person!
 

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. 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) 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. Directed by Dave Fleischer. In this "follow the bouncing ball" sing-along cartoon, the echerous 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.  “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. This sensual adaptation story liberates its characters from their Disney-style forest: Grandma’s a nymphomaniac swinger, and 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.
