Bacall to Arms
''Bacall to Arms'' is a 1946 Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series, directed by Bob Clampett, in his second-to-last cartoon at Warner Bros. (''The Big Snooze'' would be the last). Neither Clampett (he was left uncredited because he had left the studio before the cartoon was released) nor voice characterizations are credited. Mel Blanc's voice is recognizable as a fat theater patron, a husband in a newsreel, and the wolf's vocal effects. Impressionist Dave Barry portrays the voice of Humphrey Bogart while June Foray voices Lauren Bacall. The title refers both to Hemingway's ''A Farewell to Arms'' and actress Lauren Bacall, whose acclaimed film debut was in ''To Have and Have Not'', based on another Hemingway novel.
==Background==
Bob Clampett started his directing career with black-and-white animated shorts for the Looney Tunes series, this phase of his career lasting from 1937 to 1941. In 1941, fellow director Tex Avery departed the Warner Bros. Cartoons studio. Clampett replaced Avery as the head of a unit producing films for the Merrie Melodies series, while Norman McCabe took over Clampett's former unit.〔Barrier (1999), unnumbered pages〕 The chief animator of Clampett's new unit was Robert McKimson and his style dominated their early products. Clampett reportedly found this dominance to have stifling effects on creativity, and in time trusted two other animators of the unit with more autonomy: Virgil Ross and Rod Scribner.〔 While Clampett certainly headed a unit with notably talented animators, the distinctive styles of said animators tended to be incompatible. The use of multiple, clashing styles in a single short, gave the products of the unit a rather strange and uneven quality.〔
McKimson's influence eventually diminished and the animator himself left the unit in September 1944. Michael Barrier considers ''Bacall to Arms'' to be one of only 6 shorts produced by this unit to have little to no influence by McKimson, and for which the creators managed to reach a "satisfying", "unified" stylistic approach. The other five were (in chronological order) ''Book Revue'', ''Baby Bottleneck'', ''Kitty Kornered'', ''The Great Piggy Bank Robbery'', and ''The Big Snooze''. All were released in 1946.〔 He notes, however, that Clampett himself left the Studio at about this time. ''Bacall to Arms'' was left unfinished at the departure, and was completed under the direction of Arthur Davis.〔
