Booby Socks (Screen Gems/Columbia-1945)

From 1945, here's "Booby Socks," produced by Columbia Pictures' Screen Gems cartoon studio as part of its "Phantasy" series. In this one, a crooning cat with an oversized bow tie tries to gain the attention of a female feline, but gets repeatedly foiled by an oversized bulldog. This cartoon, which was another in a long line of major cartoon takeoffs on Frank Sinatra, was directed by Howard Swift and Bob Wickersham, with story by Sid Marcus, animation by Chic Otterstrom and Grant Simmons, layouts by Clark Watson, backgrounds by Al Boggs, and music by Eddie Kilfeather.
