Storyline
Sylvester Cat slips when making a grab for Tweety Bird in Granny's flat, and falls dazed to the floor as one of Tweety's feathers lands in his mouth. Tweety runs off. Sylvester comes to and finds the feather lodged between his lips. He thinks he has swallowed and killed Tweety and suffers terrible remorse as an Alfred Hitchcock-like voice-over chides him for his "crime". Sylvester cracks, runs into the streets confessing, and returns to Granny's place, where he finds he didn't eat Tweety after all. Written by

I you're a Baby Boomer, you have to love this beginning. A bear walks into an outline of himself, doing an imitation of Alfred Hitchcock and the way he always began his "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" dramas on TV in the 1950s and 1960s. After that, this quickly changes to a "Sylvester and ?Tweety" cartoon, with some excellent film-noir-type nighttime light- and-shadows artwork. In fact, this is best-looking Tweety cartoon I've ever seen. It is beautifully drawn.
Hitchcock comes back as Sylvester's conscience, accusing him of killing the poor little bird (which he did not do) and story is kind of weak in the second half. This started off very promising but got a little stupid with not much humor. However, that artwork was so good I gave the story a pass.
