The Hollywood Matador (1942)

FAQ

The Hollywood Matador



    Woody has Mel Blanc's voice in the opening titles ("Guess who?") and whenever he laughs. Otherwise, his voice is probably Ben Hardaway's.



    The first says, "Woody the Terribull!" It shows Woody Woodpecker threatening a bull with a toilet plunger. The second says, "For Whom the Bulls Toil," a reference to Ernest Hemingway's 1940 novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls. The title, in turn, comes from a line of prose by John Donne. (In 1943, a movie version of Hemingway's novel appeared. It starred Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman.)



    The sign reads, "Thru these portals pass the most beautiful bulls in the world." The sign is spoof of a similar message over the doors of the Earl Carroll Theatre. There were two theaters by that name: one in New York City and one in Hollywood. Both had the same sign: "Through these portals pass the most beautiful girls in the world."

    Oxnar the Terribull.



    No, and he doesn't really seem to deserve any either. At the end, Woody as matador turns the bull into hot dogs and hamburgers.
