HOLLYWOOD STEPS OUT~ 1941


Hollywood Steps Out 
1941 short Merrie Melodies cartoon by Warner Bros.directed by Tex Avery
The cartoon features caricatures of Hollywood celebrities from the 1930s and early 1940s 
  • When announced for the bubble dance  Sally Rand is called “Strand” by Crosby, 
  • presumably to avoid infringement. Rand refused permission to copy her dance act.
  • The original release had an extended ending where Clark Gable kisses the man anyways, this was cut out of the reissue print because Clark was worried it would hurt his career, the result of cutting the ending was an abrupt black-out fade.
