Sorry, this movie sucks

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
MamaGravity
good back-story, and good acting

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

If there was one cartoon that seemed to really represent the wacky side of the Leon Schlesinger/Warner Bros. output of the '40s, it's this one-Porky Pig's Feat-in which he and Daffy Duck are trying to escape the hotel manager because they can't afford to pay the extravagant bill because of Daffy's recent gambling loss. The gags fly fast starting with the Duck's smashing the manager's face into "a Dick Tracy character, Pruneface" to when that manager falls down a very long circular flight of stairs constantly saying "ow, oo, ow" to him going through multiple rows of doors (with one saying "Montonous, isn't it") to a surprise cameo of a very popular character that provided the hilarious last line. All I'll say now is, Porky Pig's Feat is most definitely worth watching.

This Looney Tunes episode may be very slapsticky and have a good deal of jokes that have been used so many times, it still works as a good quality Looney Tunes cartoon. I enjoyed it immensely, mainly thanks to a few of the unexpected jokes, character appearances and personalities of Daffy and Porky.In this episode, Porky needs to pay a very expensive hotel bill and is waiting with the hotel manager for Daffy Duck, who is staying with him, to bring the money. Unfortunately, Daffy has been gambling at this time and loses ALL THE MONEY needed to pay the bill. Great. So, when Daffy realises that Porky is relying on him to pay the bill, he immediately becomes defensive against the hotel owner...The cartoon had an "unexpected visitor," whom I will not reveal as it is quite late on in the episode. In the cartoon are also some quite witty statements and gags and the episode is fast-paced as most Looney Tunes are and very entertaining. There is one thing that slightly put me off the episode: I did not enjoy the surprisingly long sequence of "Ows!" submitted by the hotel manager as he falls down the stairs. Not only was it boring but it made me think of how it might feel in real life. Not nice.I recommend this episode to people who like Porky and Daffy and to people who like early Looney Tunes cartoons. Enjoy "Porky's Pig Feat"! :-)

Frank Tashlin is often mentioned as the Warners' most overlooked director, along with Arthur Davis. Possibly this is right, both did only a handful films for the studio. Tash made his cartoons in two stints, one between 1937 and 38, and the other between 1943 and 46.The second era consists his more popular films, with such memorable ones like "The Stupid Cupid", "Nasty Quacks", "Swooner Crooner" or "Unruly Hare". But his real masterpiece was without doubt "Porky Pig's Feat", a black-and-white classic featuring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, as two hotel guests who try to escape without paying the bill to the ugly, nasty french clerk, after Daffy gambled his money.The message of this cartoon might be wrong (however I would try the same, if I had to pay for goodwill and sunshine ha-ha), but it's possibly one of the best slapstick comedies I have ever seen in any film. The gags are utterly brilliant, and despite the 43 B/W release, this cartoon feels like much more like a late-40 short with its detailed and mature humor. As said in an earlier review, the gags are not only great here, but very unpredictable as well, which makes the film even better.Interesting note that this was the only time when Bugs Bunny has appeared (as a cameo) in a B/W short, and also was the first occasion when Daffy and Bugs met.The title of the cartoon is rather misleading, since Porky is just here, but the real feats are made by Daffy Duck. I always preferred the early wacky personality of him (more correctly the 40s Daffy, which has some maturity as well), and he is at his very best in "Porky Pig's Feat". This cartoon is available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol.3, and heavily recommended to anyone at any age and any mood. Possibly this is one of the top10 overall Looney Tunes cartoons, but this might be my opinion only.10/10

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).
