This controversial picture depicts a lady and a horse.

As regular users of this site well know, it's nearly impossible to submit a viable comment that will be approved and accepted about such live-action features as NATIONAL VELVET, MY FRIEND FLICKA or INTERNATIONAL VELVET. There's just something about putting the equine species in close proximity to human females that the evil censor bots running the internet go out of their way to suppress, silence, stymie, squelch, censor, muzzle and otherwise hush up. Therefore, this show's broken fairy tale--SPEEDING BEAUTY--is pretty much untouchable, even with a ten-foot--but it's improper to use the p-word, as well.

This Is the End

H the boys chasing Boris and the Light Fingered Five Minus One to an ice house. Once again, a series of exchanges takes place and our boys get the final say. The contest, however, has consequences. In additional items, we have the story of "Speeding Beauty," where a witch turns a young woman into a horse. Dudley Do-Right is into prospecting and comes up with two bags of gold. Snidely tricks him into signing an insurance policy.

Like most of the sagas of . . .

. . . The Bullwinkle Show, the closing of Saga #7--"Buried Treasure"--is somewhat anticlimactic. Viewers wind up with more questions than answers with each passing episode. Take Part 13, aka SUBWAY FINISH or AN UNDERGROUND ROUND. People of This Our Modern 21st Century will be wondering whether there actually were cordless cleaning machines being used in the American hinterlands in 1961. Furthermore, as the saga concludes with Part 14, aka THE LAST EDITION or FIVE-SCAR FINAL, many will puzzle over the complete absence of Colonel Pickpocket, the owner/publisher of the Picayune Intelligence. However, the suspense of the saga is likely to keep Today's younger watchers on the edge of their X-Boxes.

Apparently hundreds of shameless plagiarists . . .

. . . have claimed credit during the past 125 years for being the author of this episode's "Bullwinkle's Corner" poem, HOW TO BE HAPPY. First published by Mrs. John (Maria) F-r-i-n-k of Valparaiso, IN, in her book of the same title, her 16-line poem has consistently been ranked in the top 25 on nearly every survey of America's best-loved poems. It has been reprinted in the weekly, monthly and annual church bulletins of every known U. S. sect, except those of the Quakers, Shakers and Scientologists. It appeared as early as 1921 on page 69 of volume 25 amid the New York Legislative Documents. Almost everyone is ripping off the F-r-i-n-k family of their due royalties, because they think they can either say the poem is by "Anonymous" OR that they themselves wrote it (!)--shame on the self-proclaimed "Wolf Poet"--because they believe that no one with a name like that will sue for copyright infringement.

Everyone loves a romance story blended . . .

. . . with one or more stalwart steeds in the foreground. This is, of course, one of the things that has made Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties--with Nell Fen-Wick's attraction for Dudley's Mount--so popular during the passing decades. This show's "Fractured Fairy Tale" continues in the tradition of Dudley and Nell. SPEEDING BEAUTY concerns a dude who spends a lot of time grooming a smart princess with a steady diet of apples, oats, hay and sugar cubes. Unfortunately, the latter portion of this menu results in the Heartbreak of Dental Carries, and pain-free equine dentistry was not readily at hand in Ye Olden Days, resulting in a lot of nagging.
