Woman of the Year (1942)

In their first (and low-key best) cinematic pairing, Hepburn (erudite) and Tracy (loutish) crackle with sexual tension (they’d never be this openly sexy onscreen again) as the latter struggles to accept the former’s disparate feminist ideals after a whirlwind romance and marriage.

A Wild Hare (WB, 1940) dir. Tex Avery

Bugs Bunny's 5th cartoon. Tex Avery puts it all together here! Bugs finally has an official name, his classic voice, his carrot-crunch, and his catch-phrase.

Avery said that "What's up, Doc" was a common phrase where he grew up, and he didn't think much of it at the time. He took Bugs' voice and mannerisms from Rosco Karnes in the 1934 film "It Happened One Night," and the carrot-crunching from Clark Gable in the same film.

Elmer is also complete. He says "Be vewy quiet" for the first time. All of the Bugs/Elmer schtick is here!

🥕 Friz Freleng's unpublished memoirs mention that this was one of his favorite films, and that it contains at least three things which the character "Bugs Bunny" was based on: the character Oscar Shapely's (Roscoe Karns) personality, the manner in which Peter Warne (Clark Gable) was eating carrots and talking quickly at the same time, and an imaginary character mentioned once to frighten Oscar Shapely named "Bugs Dooley." Other mentions of "Looney Tunes" characters from the film include Alexander Andrews (Walter Connolly) and King Westley (Jameson Thomas) being the inspirations for Yosemite Sam and Pepé Le Pew, respectively.
