This week, our website matinee will start with a 1953 Warner Brothers (Looney Tunes) cartoon, "Southern Fried Rabbit." In this one, Bugs Bunny heads to the Deep South in search of healthy carrots, only to encounter with Confederate soldier Yosemite Sam!
With story by Warren Foster, animation by Arthur Davis, Manuel Perez, Ken Champin, and Virgil Ross, layouts by Hawley Pratt, backgrounds by Irv Wyner, voice characterizations by Mel Blanc, and music by Carl Stalling, this cartoon was directed by Isadore (Friz) Freleng.
Next, from 1940, we bring you The Three Stooges starring in the Columbia Pictures short, "You Nazty Spy." In this one, Moe is appointed dictator of Moronica with Curly and Larry as his top aides. Their brand of government doesn't exactly go over very well with the constituents. With story and screenplay by Clyde Bruckman and Felix Adler, photography by Harry Davis (ASC), and editing by Arthur Seid, this short subject was produced and directed by Jules White.
Shown in two parts.
Next, it's time for Chapter Two of Sea Raiders, our 1941 Universal Pictures serial with the Dead End Kids and Little Tough Guys.
And now, for our Feature Presentation!
Time for classic film noir as Producers Releasing Corporation present Tom Neal and Ann Savage starring in the 1945 film "Detour." In this one, a down-on-his-luck night club pianists hitchhikes across the country so that he could be with his girlfriend in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, he made several big mistakes along the way.

With screenplay and original story by Martin Goldsmith, music by Leo Erdody, and photography by Benjamin H. Kline (ASC), this motion picture was produced by Leon Fromkess and directed by Edgar G.
