Betty Boop's Trial - Notes and Comments

Notes and Comments

This short features the first appearance of Freddy, Betty's semi-regular boyfriend.

One of the last Betty Boop shorts made before the effects of the Hays Office were felt. One scene has Betty's skirt whirling up, briefly revealing her panty-clad rear end.

A scene briefly showing a police officer in blackface was removed from later colorized prints.

Excerpts of the courtroom scene were shown in the February 21, 1976 edition of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live, being passed off as an "Artist's Rendering" of the week's developments in the Patty Hearst trial.

Famous quotes containing the words notes and, notes and/or comments:

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.
    —“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)

    My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments upon it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
