Review of A Gruesome Twosome

. . . but apparently GRUESOME TWOSOME gave rise to the Sex Industry term "Cathouse" as a synonym for the word "bordello." TWOSOME was made at the close of the World War Two Era, when rationing was running rampant in the USA, and nylons were the Holy Grail of a certain class of Working Girl. Live action features released during this Period often had passing references to nylons, but the American War Censors would not allow any scene to stand if it implied a Quid Pro Quo (such as $400 million in cash on a plane for U.S. hostages). However, Warner Bros. slips in some Prostitutional Transactions when Captain Cat (a.k.a., the Jimmy Durante feline) offers the slinky white kitty working the Night Shift on the Backyard Fence nylons for a "kiss." Since a random dog consummates this human-like deal, the symbolism of a hot dog smooching the P-word could only be made MORE explicit if the Looney Tuners had superimposed something like "And they they F - - - - - for Cash Considerations" on the screen. When considering if your kids should be exposed to TWOSOME, just remember that I only have the space to summarize about 8% of a seven-minute-plus animated short. Naked Tweety's SadoMasochism here is a whole 'Nother story.
