101 Arabs With Dirty Fezzes
Title: Arabs With Dirty Fezzes (The Arabs With Dirty Fezzes on the retitle; unsure about the original)
Studio: Lantz
Date: 7/31/39
Credits: -
Series: (Babyface Mouse?)
Running time (of viewed version): 6:46
Synopsis: Grampa Babyface reminisces about being in a foreign legion and being overrun by Arabs.
Comments: Starring Ugly Face Mouse. The Arabs wear turbans in this, not fezzes. If it's supposed to be a fez wearing country, I don't believe they should be Arabs, but something more along the lines of Moroccans. This cartoon has kids pointing bayonets at their family members and noose around the neck execution scenes, and still it isn't good. "Six Delicious Flavors Desert" is a reference to Jell-O, the dessert that came in six delicious flavors.
But if they use "turbans", they can't have a title parodying "Angels With Dirty Faces", a Warner Bros. film, if I'm not mistaken.
