Context:
I watched this cartoon with my father to understand it, as he and I are Looney Tunes fans.
For me, it's terrible that these caricatures of celebrities only took advantage of great and talented Hollywood actors to just mock off them. It's just a cartoon which has a stupid plot to laugh at celebrities, specially of Clark Gable, who felt offended with a scene and asked it would be cut off. The only thing I loved of this cartoon short is the music.
Plot: It is the 1940s. In the Ciro's nightclub, a squad of Hollywood celebrities hang out on a night with cigars, tragic-comedy and a very absurd series of jokes, being Clark Gable (I just nickname him "Clarkie", it's sweetier than "Gabe" in my opinion) the subject of most of the plot. Awww, poor Clark. He felt bad at his representation in the ending scene, fearing that Warner Bros would ruin his career seriously.
What I loved:
What I disliked: The cartoon is just to make fun of people, something I disagree. I dislike how do the Warner staff mock off to Greta Garbo. She's just in a bad moment.
There are many scenes I found out so dumb, such as:
Opinion: If this cartoon was adapted into a live action film, mostly of the actors would deny to portray themselves due to most of the scenes where they are having a horrible time. This is one of the many times where Warner Bros' cartoons caricatured for laughs to Hollywood characters who, if they watched the cartoon, would leave the theater room immediately.

What I loved:
- My favorite part is just the musical sequences. Seeing the actors and actresses dance and having a good time is something delightful to my ear, but seeing them being caricatured just for fun not.
- The voice acting. A 17-year-old teen actor, Kent Rogers, voicing mostly of the males! I watched the original 1960s Spanish dub and makes the cartoon more nice to hear to my ear.
- I love the scene when Henry Fonda's mom takes him away of the nightclub at the part with Sally Rand dancing. That scene is better than the actors annoying Sally Rand to see her nude. If Fonda's kids, Jane and Peter, were with him in that scene, mommy Fonda would punish Henry for showing an inappropiate scene to them!

There are many scenes I found out so dumb, such as:
- Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan in a nightclub setting, it's so stupid!
- I can't understand why in the scenes where Bing Crosby is in there's a little boy and his horse. He's underage and shouldn't be with the equine in a just-for-adults place!
- The part when Sally Rand (or Strand) dances and the actors want to see her naked in her performance. How good she was just with a barrel, to those men' disgust.
- Clark Gable disliked the ending scene. Too good the scene was shortened. I agree with his request.
