Trivia
The Polish dance The Mazurek, commonly known a The Mazurka, is referenced here in the title, and played as background music, though the setting for the short is more central European in nature.

Goofs
On the bottles of nitroglycerin, that word is spelled "nitroglycerine". Spelling the word with a final "e" is not an error; it is an acceptable alternate spelling.

Quotes
[last lines]
[the mouse that Sylvester has been chasing accidentally drinks nitroglycerine and blows up]
Narrator: Now you'll never catch that mouse.

[Sylvester drinks some nitro, explodes and chases the mouse through the heavens]

Sylvester's trip to Eastern Europe

One of Sylvester's outings with neither Tweety, Hippety Hopper nor Speedy Gonzales* has the slobbering cat going after a mazurka-dancing rodent in a fictional Slavic country. There's the common gag with explosives: in this case, it's nitroglycerin (what kind of person keeps that stuff in his/her house?!).

"Mouse Mazurka" has the true feeling of a Friz Freleng cartoon, given how it incorporates music (Freleng's frequent themes in cartoons were music and breaking into show biz). Here we get to hear "Song of the Volga Boatmen". But another thing about this one: the scene where Sylvester paints his finger like a female mouse - plus the shot of the woman at the beginning of the cartoon - reminds me how hot Eastern European women are. While staying with a family in St. Petersburg, Russia, I totally had a crush on my host sister; I like to describe her as a cross between Barbara Eden and Julie Christie. Think what you will about Eastern Europe, but the women there are some of THE MOST gorgeous! Anyway, a pretty funny cartoon.

*Actually, this was before Speedy debuted.
