Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
tavm This was yet another Bob Clampett-directed cartoon he made for Warner Bros. (or more accurately, independent producer Leon Schlesinger since he hadn't sold his studio to the distributor yet) which featured both Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. Actually, despite featured billing, Porky has way less screen time than the mallard who basically replaces him as the Looney Tunes star though initially, they team up quite a bit during this time. Anyway, Daffy is a doctor's assistant who just is not suitable for the job (neither is his boss when we find out what he's fixing) so he searches for his own patient. Guess who's the unlucky guy? In summary, The Daffy Doc has plenty of visual laughs if you're so in the mood. This was on the Marx Brothers' disc that has Room Service (the A side this cartoon is on) and At the Circus.
Lee Eisenberg Obviously, the creative process means that you don't necessarily start out perfectly. As one of Daffy Duck's earliest appearances, "The Daffy Doc" is a prime example. Daffy plays an orderly who, after some mishaps, gets thrown out of an operating room. Determined to find a patient, he enlists Porky Pig (against the latter's will). Since Daffy is quite literally a "quack", the operation involves no anesthetic.The cartoon seems a little less than what we're used to with the Looney Tunes cartoons, but it's still pretty funny. The best part is Daffy's (and later Daffy's and Porky's) unpleasant experience with the iron lung; it shows how "inflation" is more than an economic term.I wouldn't be surprised if, when people first watched this cartoon, they forgot that the country was going through a depression.
wetreefertime this one is funny. i saw it last night when i came home all wasted. its one with the old daffy, those ones are the best i think cuz he is always bein silly. one of the funniest things is right after daffy gets booted for freakin out, and he gets out of the lung, he gets all mad and says "He cant do this to me, i got a sheepskin!". another thing is when they show dr. quack stitching up his "patient" and he says something about daffy being crazy and how he doesn't understand the importance of the procedure. then he pulls the cover off the patient and its a football and he starts playin football. ya gotta see it. and a little reefer wont hurt. peace.
James L. Surreal and fascinating, it's not terribly funny by todays standards, but still unusual . Daffy is a "quack" doctor who helps to operate on a patient by using various bits of machinery and artillery , before being kicked out and making a patient out of Porky Pig. Daffy hasn't matured in voice , design, or attitude, and Porky is almost a cameo, but the operation and the parts where parts of Daffy inflate after iron lung treatment are classics. Still surreal.
