Heavenly Puss (1949)

This film proves what many have long suspected . . .

[7/10 · 5 September 2022]

. . . that Tom, and by extension, his entire picture franchise including Jerry, are quickly marching down the Road to Perdition; in others words, they're intent upon storming the Gates of Hades, hand-basket or not. HEAVENLY PUSS finds Tom riding a Golden Escalator within its first two minutes. Of whom will this remind most viewers? Surely contemporary film students will be put in mind of Oval Office Occupant #45, whose Final Destination in the Hereafter is even more uncertain than Tom's. Though Tom has hatched up many fiendish plots against his constituent Jerry, all of them collectively pale in comparison to the attack upon American instigated by Pudgy Fingers and his fellow malingering miscreants. It will be nice to see a pictorial representation of Mad Mr. T. trying to march into Paradise, when it becomes available.
