The Last Hungry Cat

The Last Hungry Cat is a 1961 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.
==Summary==
Sylvester Cat slips when making a grab for Tweety Bird in Granny's flat, and falls dazed to the floor as one of Tweety's feathers lands in his mouth. Tweety runs off. Sylvester comes to and finds the feather lodged between his lips. He thinks he has swallowed and killed Tweety and suffers terrible remorse as an Alfred Hitchcock-like voice-over chides him for his "crime". Sylvester cracks, runs into the streets confessing, and returns to Granny's place, where he finds he didn't eat Tweety after all.
==Plot==
What would happen if Alfred Hitchcock directed a Sylvester and Tweety cartoon? As this spoof of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" begins, a Hitchcock-type voiceover (who is never seen, apart from a silhouette of a bear) informs us that we are about to witness a murder. Sylvester slips when making a grab for Tweety in Granny's flat, and falls dazed to the floor as one of Tweety's feathers lands in his mouth. Tweety runs off. Sylvester comes to and finds the feather lodged between his lips. Thinking that he has swallowed and killed Tweety, he suffers terrible remorse as the Hitchcock-like character chides him for his "crime": "Sardines and milk weren't enough. You had to commit murder!" Sylvester sees a newspaper headline ("Police hunt 'The Cat'") and cracks, running into the streets confessing, all the while heckled by the Hitchcock narrator, who accuses him of murdering Tweety. Sylvester returns to Granny's place, where he finds that he didn't eat Tweety after all.
==Trivia==
The scenes in which Sylvester chain-smokes, drinks coffee and takes sleeping pills are cut from T.V. prints.
The first Tweety and Sylvester cartoon animated by Lee Halpern, the first animated by Art Leonardi, and the first animated by Bob Matz.
