Very Cool!!!
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Colonel Heeza Liar, usually a purveyor of tales like Baron Munchausen, was the star of the first successful cartoon production house, J.R. Bray's operations. Although the cost of cartoon production remained high and Bray gave up animation with the coming of sound, he controlled a number of patents in the field, usually called the Bray Hurd patents, and lived very well off those for many years.The war in Europe raging and the US out of it, Colonel Liar appears in this episode of the series as a war correspondent. He skulks about the battlefield, dodging cannonballs and interviewing French officers. It's not a terribly interesting cartoon, but given its age and importance in the evolution of screen cartoons, it's worth a look.
