When Clampett's head animator at Warner's, Bob McKimson, was promoted to the position of director, he almost immediately started knocking out one outstanding cartoon after another . (McKimson had inherited Frank Tashlin's unit upon that director's resignation).
McKimson's unbroken streak of quality, lasting from 1946-1951, was due in large part to writer Warren Foster (who afterward began writing for Freleng) and layout man Cornett Wood (a Disney veteran). Foster's witty scripts and solid story strucure, and Wood's matchless background settings, were McKimson's handy ace.
This team produced consistent Foggy classics like "The Leghorn Blows at Midnight" and "A Fractured Leghorn," as well as the present cartoon. For reviews revealing the film's whole plot, I turn you over to the other reviews here.
