Not As Good As It Should Have Been, 25 March 2007

This Betty Boop cartoon should have had more laughs to it than it did. It was okay but had too few really good jokes.

We see a real life scene of two old chess masters hard at work in a competitive match. The pieces on the board suddenly pop out into animated people here and there. Betty is the queen, of course and some old guy claims he is the king but apparently isn't really. Anyway, the bulk of the cartoon is this old geezer fighting it out with others, and with Betty on a chess board. Half the time they play a football game or just throw things at each other. Several times, the dirty old man pulls Betty's skirt up so we see her panties (this was Pre- Code), and that's about it.

Overall, certainly not boring but not one of her best, either.
