One of my favorite Donald Duck shorts!

I love this short! Somebody mentioned that this one lacks much of a plot, but to me it doesn't really need one. It's just Donald simply trying to get autographs and being chased around the studio the whole time. I love the caricatures of celebrities; it has a very stylized look. It's cute when Donald comes upon Sonia Henning and she skates an autograph...which Donald proceeds to cut out of the ice and carry on his back! I also love the steps which Donald takes to outwit the security guard. One of my favorites has to be when Donald hides in the large serving dish and the guard asks what's inside, the chef says "rroast-a biff", the guard asks "roast beef?", then Donald pops out and says "Yeah, rroast-a biff...flatfoot!". It's just so zany, and almost Warner Brothers like. In fact, there was a VERY similar Daffy Duck short in which he tries to sneak into the studio lot, and is also chased by the guard.

All-in-all, I think this is one of the more unique Donald Duck shorts, and I'm glad it's available on DVD.
