Here's a typically zany Tex Avery spin on a familiar fairy tale, highlighted by some eyecatching colored-pencil background art. The Wolf, a pool-hall bum, is cold-shouldered by Red, who acts like Bette Davis and sounds like Katharine Hepburn. Following directions provided by the goonish Egghead (the Joe Penner-like precursor to Elmer Fudd), the Wolf dogs Red's trail all over town in his snazzy roadster. Finally reaching Grandma's house, Wolfie is forestalled from gobbling her up while she phones in an order for groceries and liquor.. .and that's only the beginning, folks, only the beginning!
