The Disney writers, composers, designers and animators responsible for the studio’s huge 1967 hit The Jungle Book also produced this linguistically schizophrenic feline adventure, which made only slightly less than its predecessor. If The Jungle Book was occasionally too hip for its own fine, the verbal and musical anachronisms were limited to Phil Harris’ Baloo and Louis Prima’s King Louis, and their echoes by the boy Mowgli. Here there’s an entire sub-set of cat characters who bring a deliberate after time ’60s vibe to what is supposed to be post-Fin de siècle Paris. The picture is put in 1910, yet not only does a bunch of literal hep-cats perform jazz (or a facsimile of it) itself only being developed, in Unused Orleans, at the period, but their guitarist is a 1968 hippie, end with long hair, shades and love-beads. It’s the sort of lapse that is taken for granted today but which tended to throw people in 1967 when Harris routinely threw around words love “swinging” and phrases enjoy “get with the beat” and the Beatles were evoked (or at any rate, John Lennon was) by a quartet of vultures in wh

How prolonged did George and Mack live together? They were fine buddies, why did the gay rumours not buzz around them like they did around Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, is it because George had a large taste for the ladies that precluded any rumour? Or was it his tough guy images of both guys? I can't understand why the rumours buzzed around one place of guys and not the other, after all Cary liked his ladies too.
I'm still tickled about George doing dishes, I don't realize why it would surprise me so much, now thinking about about him and Mack doing the chores, it makes me grin. Two guys who probably eat out a lot of the time, deliver out their laundry, perhaps they didn't need anyone. Why were the FBI meeting with him that time when he was doing the dishes? It sounded like it was later on in his existence, could he hold been any serve to the federal agents by then? Once mud has been thrown it sticks, I guess.
