Here's an odd little bit of film. Some time in the fifties, Bob Clampett and his Time for Beany crew whipped up this little short promo pitch for a charity for the radio and television industry. It's a racy little routine that reminds one of the "horny wolf" cartoons that Clampett and Tex Avery made in the forties. I assume this was shown at some sort of industry dinner or gathering.
This was done after Stan Freberg and Daws Butler left the show, the precise date of which no one seems able to determine but it was probably either late 1953 or early 1954. In this film, Don Messick is the narrator, Irv Shoemaker is the voice of Cecil, Jim MacGeorge is Captain Huffenpuff, Walker Edmiston is Beany and the Wolf, and I think that's Joanie Gerber playing the old lady. In the credits at the end, I see a name — Naomi Something — who I'm guessing is the Marilyn Monroe-type actress playing Little Red Riding Could. And you can also spot the name of Lloyd Turner, who was the main writer for Time for Beany around this period. Lloyd had an amazing career that stretched from gag writing for Warner Brothers cartoons, all the way through writing comic books for Western Publishing and on to story-editing and writing All in the Family and other top TV shows.
Here it is. Looks like they had fun making it.
