The Hollywood Matador

Love those puns! Right off the bat, we are at a crowded stadium for the bullfights and the two posters/billboards outside read: "Today In Person: Woody The Terribull!" and "Woody Woodpecker For Whom The Bulls Toil."

The announcer starts off like he's doing a boxing match, introducing Woody at five pounds and the bull at 1,100.

The jokes aren't bad in here, better than some of the other WW cartoons I've seen. There is some original stuff which isn't easy since there were a number of cartoons which featured bullfighting.

Ben Hardaway takes over as the voice of Woody as Mel Blanc had just signed an "exclusive" contract over at Warner Brothers and couldn't be doing these anymore. Hardaway had been one of the writers of the WW cartoons, so now he had double duty. He handled it well and is the voice now that most folks remember when they think of this famous woodpecker.
