Gay Purr-ee Reviews

Produced by the man who gave us "Mr. Magoo," this full-length cartoon is the story of Mewsette, a country cat who longs for the excitement of Paris. When she flees the farm to seek fame and frolic in the big city, her presumed lover, Jaune-Tom, follows her there--with his amusing sidekick, Robespierre, to keep an eye on Mewsette and to make sure she doesn't fall in with bad company. Once in Paris, Mewsette is catnaped by Meowrice, who takes her off to Rubens-Chatte's beauty school. The villains intend to marry her off to some fat cat in Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, Jaune-Tom and Robespierre are sent to Alaska by Meowrice, but they turn the tables and come back rich, paws laden with gold, ready to win back Mewsette. The songs are by E.Y. "Yip" Harburg and Harold Arlen, who contributed so many wonderful tunes to THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939).
