It's odd to watch hundreds of Tom and Jerry cartoons from the 1940s and early '50s and then see a "culture change" with characters, furniture, cars, the music and the overall artwork that is "so 1950s." Here, "Jeanie," a baby-sitter, has the ponytail, dress and classic mid-'50s look. She lies upside on the wide, low couch talking on the telephone, etc. - you know, all the '50s things. Janet Waldo has a lot of lines in here, as the gabby teen on the telephone, who stops talking every 30 seconds to go hit Tom on the head for bothering the baby. Of course, Tom is just trying to do the right things and keeps getting blamed or falsely accused of bothering the infant. You have to feel sorry for the poor cat.
That's the theme of the cartoon: the baby wandering off all the time, Tom saving it but then getting pelted on top of the head. I can't say, for justice sake, I enjoyed the storyline, nor was in that funny, but the cartoon was well-drawn and a real nostalgia piece for the period.
This cartoon is noteworthy for being the last William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced Tom and Jerry cartoon. It is presented in the widescreen CinemaScope and is part of Disc 2 of the Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection Volume Two DVD.
