Trivia

This cartoon was the last thing to be broadcast on BBC television on 1 September 1939, two days before the United Kingdom declared war on Germany. It was thought that the VHF signal from the broadcast would serve as a homing beacon for the enemy planes closing in on London. This cartoon was also the first thing broadcast when BBC television resumed broadcasting on 7 June 1946. The continuity announcer, Jasmine Bligh, introduced the cartoon by saying, "Now then, as we were saying before we were so rudely interrupted."

Night of a hundred stars

This is an enjoyable black and white Mickey Mouse short in which Mickey is the guest of honor at the premiere of his latest film. Most of this short's humor relies on cartoon versions of many famous faces from when this film was made. I'm sure many of today's viewers would have a difficult time recognizing all of them. Some of them are kind of bland but others are very funny, the Joe E. Brown character is especially funny. The movie within the movie has it's share of funny moments.
