I've Got To Sing A Torch Song

The first of the post-Ising Merrie Melodies. The only Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Tom Palmer. The title tune originated in the movie musical "Gold Diggers of 1933." Hollywood figures caricatured include Tallulah Bankhead, Joan Blondell, James Cagney, Bing Crosby, Guy Kibbee, Zasu Pitts, Mae West, Bert Wheeler and Bob Woolsey, Ed Wynn, George Bernard Shaw, Mussolini, Ben Bernie, The Boswell Sisters and Greta Garbo (who does the "Dat's all, folks!" signoff!).
