Mouse Trouble (1944)

Nothing livens up a dinner party more than . . .

[7/10 · 3 October 2021]

. . . having perceptive guests seeing one or more mice running across the floor of the dining room. Remembering this happening at several events I attended, it's hard to describe the sort of hilarity that ensues after such sightings, as the hosts accuse observers of "seeing things" and any optometrists present get their business cards out of their pockets. The apparent purpose of MOUSE TROUBLE is to convince viewers that cats are totally worthless when it comes to controlling mice. A representative feline is depicted as an ineffectual clumsy loser, compared to a savvy rodent bent upon plundering household food stores and not even using a litter box. Har, har, har. As the Good Book predicts, surely the mice will inherit the Earth some day (sooner rather than later, the way things are going now).
