Rare Elmer vs Sylvester cartoon

Warning: Spoilers
"Back Alley Oproar" is an American cartoon from 1948 and it was produced by Warner Bros. The days of World War II had been over at this point, so it's an unpolitical work again. It runs for approximately seven minutes just like the others. The director is Friz Freleng, writers are Michael Maltese and Tedd Pierce and these three worked on so many classic Warner Bros. cartoons. Same can be said about some of the voice actors, especially Mel Blanc of course. The story here is nothing really new. It's the usual one we have seen many times, in which one character wants to sleep while the other makes noises. And the former is Elmer Fudd in here (in Bugs' absence), while Sylvester wants to sing opera in the backyard and the result is the massive "oproar" mentioned in the title. I thought this was an okay watch. Some lengths were in here, but also 2 or 3 funny moments like the pretty hilarious nine lives reference at the very end. Poor Elmer. But not poor audience. I recommend the watch.
