Directed by Chuck Jones, "To Duck....or Not to Duck" is a Daffy Duck/Elmer Fudd cartoon that is not Warner Bros.' finest hour, but then, even the best in the business (like Chuck) have their failures now and then. The problem with this particular cartoon is that it doesn't really go anywhere. Daffy challenges Fudd to a boxing match, in which the hapless hunter is absolutely no match for the swaggering duck.
Only two scenes in this short that I find funny: First, at the very opening, Daffy frolics and sings while flying, and he points out the "duck shot" that narrowly misses him. And second, after Daffy says to Elmer "A great sportsman, eh?", Daffy is hilarious as he rapidly grunts and wildly gyrates his body.
I can't really recommend "To Duck....or Not to Duck" very highly, but if you wish to see it for yourselves, at least there'll be no harm done. Catch it on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6 Disc 1.
