Early to Bet (1951)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
Extremely poor Merrie Melodies short has a "gambling" bug biting various people and then we see how bad gambling is. I'm really not sure how to explain this short because it's so unpleasant and unfunny that you can't help but be shocked and think this has to be one of the worst the MM ever did. The "gambling" bug is annoying from start to finish and he actually gets worse as the film moves along. None of the supporting characters are any good be it with laughs, looks or even the vocal work. It's rather hard to think of a more unfunny cartoon.
