Retro: The Unquiet American

WHO KILLED WHO?

Tex Avery
USA 1943
8 min
V'09

Introduced by a live-action “expert” behind a desk who appears to be impersonating J. Edgar Hoover, and who makes a surprise return visit later, this ­parodic cartoon tribute to murder mysteries and haunted-house stories brings out the usual Tex Avery arsenal of Texas hyperbole and surrealist overkill – in short, delightful excess.

This film is screened together with <filmlink id=\"3125\">Sherlock Jr.</filmlink> and <filmlink id=\"3148\">Wide Angle Saxon</filmlink>.
