HOLLYWOOD DETOUR, A

Air Date/Released Friday, January 23, 1942
Station/Studio Columbia Color Rhapsody

A sight-gag tourist tour of the Hollywood sites: Hollywood Boulevard, the Brown Derby, Santa Anita, Columbia Studios, the stars' homes, Grauman's Chinese Theatre and Malibu. Star cameos by W. C. Fields, Bing Crosby, Katharine Hepburn, Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth, William Powell, Joe E. Brown, Laurel & Hardy, Clark Gable, Edna May Oliver, and George Raft. Also a running gag with John Barrymore mobbed by autograph hounds who leave him with barely the shirt on his back.

The Three Stooges cameo as targets of Joe E. Brown's errant baseball pitch.


The Stooges and Brown clip is reused footage from HOLLYWOOD PICNIC (1937); the Katharine Hepburn animation is also from PICNIC, but was overlaid over new backgrounds to create a different scene.

Crew: Frank Tashlin (Director), Emery Hawkins (Animator), Paul Worth (Music)
