Paramount talents Jack Mercer and Billy Bletcher lent their voices uncredited to this picture. Look for a pretty good "Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking" gag on Angel Face's wanted poster.
The original credits listed Allen Rose and Lou Lilly as directors/animators, no other names. They'd been gone from the studio some months before this was released (i.e. it was in the pipeline). Director Davis was still there, but it's not likely that he finished it, otherwise Rose and Lilly's names would've almost certainly been removed. As for Patterson, he left Disney in 1941 so it's possible that he was assigned to finish a scene, and ditto for Art Davis. BUT there is NO proof for any of it.
Who did the animation in this cartoon. The opening scene looks like Ray Patterson and the scene when the wolf is on the phone is animated by Art Davis. Am I right?
Actually this cartoon was directed by the team of Lou Lilly and Allen Rose (third co-director Harry Love had quit a while before). And this was BEFORE Tashlin had arrived at the Screen Gems studio, but they were definitely already being influenced by the best COMEDY cartoon studio (Schlesinger/Warners) and its king of wackiness, Tex Avery. It was made while Tashlin was still languishing at Disney in the story department.
This cartoon was directed by Frank Tashlin. He was his own person and had his own abilities, which did not rely on any Disney/Tex Avery knockoffs. In fact, Avery
in some ways was influenced by Tashlin. Frankly, it's not that great of a cartoon, but the animation is good. Tashlin did better work at Warner Brothers, however.
