Stan Freberg and Mel Blanc did the Hick , Mel Blanc the Slick, Bea Benadaret the Chick, (Bea and Stan worked with Jones on the Three Bears at this time and a few others like Friz's "Snow Business,Blanc and Freberg or Harry E.Lang,as that cat. (Blanc did the "drunken" and a few other lines for "Elmo" and Freberg, or Lang, as the Durante character voice.,) <BR/><BR/>This was one of the last pre-1948 Warner shorts, but only the style of the staff credits (very similair to Friz's "Hare Do", which, in Technicolor, came out much later despite being made at about the same time, while "Hick,Slick,CHick" is Cinecolor, Art's own "Riff Raffy Daffy", etc.in the credit fonts.*)<BR/><BR/>*"Hare Do" is PROD #1068, "Hick,.."PROD #1073.:))<BR/><BR/>Steve Carras@gcarras@aol.com<BR/>(I am posting "Anonymous" because there seeems to be no other way that I can get this through!:angry:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22733109.post-55628731941179461522007-07-17T23:54:00.000-04:002007-07-17T23:54:00.000-04:00That would be great!
