Of Suckers and Sandtraps
Our final Good Sport Week installment has Little Lulu teeing off in “Cad and Caddy.” She hires on as caddy to this really irritable golfer — funny thing is, the guy is the spitting image of Lulu’s own Pop — well, except for the mustache (this duffer has a kind of a Fu Manchu job going for him.) What’s up with that? Jackson Beck supplies the blustery voice for the old hothead, and even gets to croon a couple of bars of “It’s a Hap, Hap, Happy Day.”
As so often happens in the Lulu oeuvre, lollypops play a pivotal role in our little narrative. What else? Seymour Kneitel directed this colorful 1947 epic (hey, he directed the Popeye cartoon we posted yesterday too!) And, as usual for this series, a catchy Winston Sharples score.
We throw the spotlight on a bunch cartoons having something to do with stage performances on Monday. And you don’t even have to buy a ticket!
