Fantastic! :-)
I very much enjoyed this Daffy Duck episode, for the following reasons: 1. The idea was very good, Daffy Duck can pull off a detective role very well (as you may already know even if you have not watched this particular episode). 2. The woman character was excellent, she CERTAINLY liked Daffy! 3. The way Daffy narrated the story at the beginning and then re-did the mystery in the middle and towards the end were very well done and clever. 4. The funny-walk scene is hilarious and well-animated. 5. There were many amusing points in the episode, if a tad slapsticky at times.
In this episode, Daffy stars as Duck Drake, a detective, who one day receives a call which does not interest him, until the caller posts a huge wad of cash through the phone. Daffy decides, now he has such a good fare, he will go out and investigate the mystery. He turns up at a very large merchant house, where a suspicious butler welcomes him in, with a funny walk, which Daffy imitates (and this was nearly twenty years before the Ministry of Silly Walks began!). He then meets a very over-dramatic, seductive woman duck and Daffy guesses what happened and why she is the murderer. Will he find out if she really committed the crime..? The only thing that I did not find top notch in this episode was the animation, it was not the best for Looney Tunes. Also, there is a little too much slapstick for me.
Very well worth watching, I recommend this to people who like Daffy Duck, to people who like his detective roles or who want to see them and to people who like it when Daffy is paired with a woman duck. Enjoy "The Super Snooper"! :-)
