Really Scent (1959)
7/10
New Orleans of the past
3 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
In one of the stranger Pepe Le Pew cartoons, the famous skunk comes to New Orleans, where Fabrette the cat is looking for a lover. Pepe is of course perfect except for his scent.

What I mean about "Really Scent" being one of the stranger cartoons is that Pepe comes to understand that he smells terrible. What made these cartoons great is that he always believed himself to be irresistible, despite the obvious fact that he repelled everyone. So why have him realize that he stinks? Oh well, at least they also have Fabrette change herself. Not a bad cartoon, but not the first one that I would recommend (as a director, Abe Levitow just couldn't equal Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng).

And of course, this cartoon is also a look at the New Orleans of long ago, before Hurricane Katrina irrevocably changed it. I know that that's not related to the events portrayed in the cartoon, but I notice it.
