Bowery Bugs

Arthur Davis, Bowery Bugs, USA 1949


Something different at least. We have the first and only Bugs Bunny short Arthur Davis directed, and I believe the first time Bugs tangled with a real person. 


Sort of


Bugs is chatting with an old man about the legend of Steve Brody, who jumped from the Brooklyn Bridge in 1886. We flashback to that time. Seems Brody was born with a mile wide luck streak, every bit of it bad. So he decides that the thing he needs is a rabbit's foot. Brody heads out to Flatbush to get himself a fresh foot, but Bugs directs him to a swami (himself) with much mayhem ensuring. 

Pretty good. Brody is a pretty much a dumb thug, but the way Bugs drives him crazy is hysterical.
