A different way of telling a story

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Weeeelllll.... "Lovelorn Leghorn" is a little cartoon from 65 years ago and as they always do this one runs for 7 minutes as well. It is another Foghorn Leghorn movie, so the voice acting comes from Mel Blanc of course and McKimson and Pierce made it like so many other times too. But i dare say this may not have been their best moment. The comedy here was too gadget-oriented and did not really have that much wit in terms of the characters, also was more loud than funny. Also I wish I would have been more touched by Prissy and how she is a bit of an ugly duckling, but honestly it left me fairly uninterested. Nice ending for her though. But not for the audience. I give this one a thumbs-down.

Miss Prissy's out to find a husband, even if she has to get one by clonking him over the head with a rolling pin. Foghorn Leghorn is, as usual, her primary target and must fend off the pursuing hen while also continuing his never-ending feud with Barnyard Dog. I love Miss Prissy. She's just such a nice, endearing character who also provides lots of laughs in her own special way. A very human character, as most of the Looney Tunes animals were. Bea Benaderet handles the voice for Prissy here (as well as the other hens) and does a marvelous job. Mel Blanc is flawless as always as Foghorn and Barnyard Dog. The music is happy and cheerful. The animation is nice with well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Lovely Technicolor always helps. It's a funny short, if not one of Foghorn's best. The football gag is the funniest, besides Prissy's interactions with the other hens.

"Lovelorn Leghorn" probably wasn't the best Looney Tunes cartoon ever, but it certainly has its moments. It features Prissy looking for a husband, so Foghorn Leghorn tells her that Barnyard Dog is a rooster in disguise. After a football sequence, Barnyard clarifies everything and helps Prissy build the most whacked-out "rooster trap" ever, the sort of thing that looks like it was dreamed up by Rube Goldberg.It was always neat how Foggy had his hillbilly phrases, and how he and Barnyard liked to razz each other. This cartoon makes OK use of everything, so I have to say about it - to quote Prissy: "Ye-e-e-e-e-es." Pretty good.

`Lovelorn Leghorn' is rather a misleading title, as our Foghorn obviously prefers sunbathing over matters of the heart. He won't be receiving much love either, as he is in for a beating. Not only does the Barnyard Dog beat him to the chase to pull the first prank, but before Foghorn can take revenge, he gets another wallop from Prissy and her roller pin.It's no wonder that old square britches Prissy has problems, with all those other hens pointing out her shortcomings all the time. As always Foggy is too much of a lumphead to listen to her and points her in the same direction he always did Henery Hawk. He tells her the Barnyard dog is actually a bachelor rooster in disguise. In return the dog shows Prissy how to build one of his ingenious traps. Even with a big ‘Rooster Trap' sign on it, that feathery nutcake of a rooster still helps her to complete it. Not one of the most memorable Foghorn features. Robert McKimson takes his time in setting up and executing each gag, and therefore the laugh ratio seems to be much lower than usual. Prissy stands in for Henery Hawk quite well, and we do find out there's a whole football field on the farm, but that does not add much. 5 out of 10
