It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

I think this is one of my personal favourite Daffy and Porky cartoons. It is gorgeous to look at, it is fast paced and it is hilarious. It is the first black and white Looney Tunes cartoon I have seen, but I didn't mind that at all. As a matter of fact, I loved it. The animation is amazingly detailed and the black and white is like looking at a gorgeously shot film noir. The music as always is wonderful and playful, and the short is very fast paced with some truly hilarious gags delivered at breakneck speed. Daffy and Porky both do a great job, Porky is a great foil for Daffy but Daffy almost steals the show from under Porky. Not to mention brilliant vocal characterisations from the one and only Mel Blanc. Overall, gorgeous and hilarious, a must see for fans of Porky or Daffy or both. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Porky's bill for two nights stay at the Broken Arms Hotel is outrageous. He's even charged separately for the "air, sunshine and goodwill!" When the big fat French guy from the hotel comes to collect, Porky says his pal Daffy is in charge of the money. Unfortunately, Daffy has just thrown away money in a craps game.One thing leads to another and the Frenchman winds up challenging Daffy on the "field of honor."Well, you know Daffy doesn't have a lot of honor, and they never get to that duel - just a war to see if they can get out of the hotel without paying while the big hotel manager makes sure the opposite happens. All parties take a beating in this war. In the end, Daffy calls up Bugs Bunny hoping he'll help!It was odd to see Daffy Duck in black-and-white. In all the Looney Tunes Collection DVDs, I've always seen him in color. This was part of the Volume Three.

As a cartoon director Frank Tashlin, in my opinion, was greater for his use of cinematic angles.In the matchless "Pig's Feat," the size of the surly manager is emphasized by Tashlin's tight cropping and extreme closeups. Where else in history have we ever seen a character stuff his head down another's throat and bawl him out-? To the accompaniment of rumbling tympani drums-? One of the most startling and hysterically funny sequences in all animation."Feat" employs some really breathtaking tricks to heighten the spatial quality of many scenes. And it is rapidly paced. Pay close attention to the rather angular aspect of Daffy's body when he loses the money and later as he's held captive. Tashlin's interpretation of Daffy has always been my favorite (Jones later destroyed the Daffy I loved--but that's another subject).

One of the funniest of the Frank Tashlin cartoons -- Porky Pig and Daffy Duck try to skip out on an overpriced hotel stay! The Seinfeldian immorality of "Porky Pig's Feat" is quite surprising for 1943, a time when cartoons were frequently used to illustrate didactic military and patriotic themes.
