HOLLYWOOD STEPS OUT (1941)




I always loved cartoons with celebrity caricatures. Warner Brothers' "HOLLYWOOD STEPS OUT" is one of the best.

The background art does a beautiful job depicting the glamorous Hollywood nightclub scene at Ciro's, one of Tinseltown's notorious hot spots.

The pan shot of the interior is digitally recreated, giving us a view of the art we never saw in the movie. That's Cary Grant on the far right.

You can find out who all the old movie celebrities are here:

  2. This is one of my favourite cartoons because of the caricatures and the silly humour.

    Fascinating to be able to look at the background paintings as the artists and crew would have seen them - especially the giant pans you're putting up.

    Thanks!
