The part at 0:45 showed the William Powell character passing a lightpole and being pulled back to the pole by his dog. Notice how it abruptly cuts to the next scene. The reason is there was a scene which the censors objected to right after the dog pulled William Powell back to the pole. The long lost censored footage originally showed the dog lifting his leg on the lightpole. This would be considered mild by today's standards but too risque for the Hays days.
Anyone know the title of the old WB cartoon where they have a voice over describing the dogs and their traits. They showed a St. Bernard in the alps rescuing a dude trapped in ice. He pulled him out. Stood up. Took off his lil barrel around his neck placed it on a stool and opened it up. Made him self a martini....lol Every third back he hiccuped as he ran away barking...
@shrxfn68 Dog Tales from 1957. The St. Bernard scene was actually lifted from an earlier cartoon (Piker's Peak or something like that) watch?v=6eHfqnvJcTU
This is one of th\ose form 1937 with the same theme for beginning and end. And at 5:07 is the elsuive Bernice Hansen reprising her 1935 Porky cartoon ["I Haven't got a hat"] "Mary had a Little Lamb" bit to the tune of "My Boopshin" best remembered from "Little Dutch Plate",1935.
The others were "Plenty of Money and You" and "Speaking of the Weather." Only "A Sunbonnet Blue" released August 21st of 1937 lacked the standard ending theme.
The last of three shorts from the 1936-1937 season to have a proper closing title theme. The other two were "Plenty of Money and You" (7/31/37; reissued 12/9/44) and "Speaking of the Weather" (9/4/37; reissued 7/21/45).

The dog reciting Mary had a little lamb was like the one in I Haven't got a Hat.

The ending theme to this is really cool, much better than the one they would debut with I Wanna Be a Sailor.
