Review of Mask-A-Raid

Mask-A-Raid (1931)
10/10
Betty holds her own in this early short in the series
22 March 2005
This one consists principally of sight gags that arise out of Bimbo's mooning after Betty and both Betty and Bimbo dealing with the interest shown in Betty by a rather persistent and quite obvious suitor. Bimbo making cow eyes and chasing after Betty is fairly standard. The older fellow is what makes this one fascinating, for me at least. It's nice occasionally to have someone other than Bimbo or KoKo trying to catch Betty.

The Betty Boop personality is formed by this point, for the most part. The music is good, the comic timing is pretty good and the animation is excellent. Part of the Definitive Betty Boop box set and well worth having. Recommended.
