ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
BA_Harrison When Mammy Two Shoes leaves the house to go to her Lucky Seven Saturday Night Bridge Club, her mischievous cat Tom seizes the opportunity to host a wild party for his alley-cat pals. Jerry the mouse, who is trying to get to sleep, attempts to stop the commotion...The cat vs mouse action in Saturday Evening Puss is fairly routine, but what makes this cartoon slightly more memorable is the sight of Tom and his pals partying like crazy, the hairy hepcats generating some seriously groovy jazz tunes (could their antics have been the inspiration for a similar scene in Disney's The Aristocats?).An ironic ending sees Tom and his friends thrown out of the house by Mammy, much to Jerry's delight, only for the mouse to have his sleep disturbed when Mammy puts on a record at top volume
TheLittleSongbird Saturday Evening Puss isn't the best Tom and Jerry cartoon I have seen, but it is very funny, pleasant and enjoyable. The story doesn't really hold any new surprises and the ending wasn't as impressive as the rest of the cartoon, but everything else is fine. The animation is very colourful and lively, and the sight gags are very, very clever and inventive. Tom, Jerry and Mammy Two Shoes are endearing and likable still, but what made the cartoon was the soundtrack. I loved it, it was catchy, memorable and upbeat, the sort of soundtrack I love in cartoons. Overall, a very pleasant and enjoyable Tom and Jerry cartoon, that works well on re-watches. 9/10 Bethany Cox
MartinHafer Tom's owner is going out to play cards with some friends. Tom takes advantage of this by inviting some friends to come over and they spend all their time making a racket listening to Jazz records and playing along with the music. The sound is driving Jerry crazy, so he decides to fight back. A few times Jerry gets the better of these four cats, but in the end he is tied to the blinds and is helpless--until he phones the owner and tells her what's afoot. Oddly, Jerry can apparently speak in this episode but although the lady hears it, the audience cannot. She returns home to find the partying cats and throws them out--only to herself turn on loud music and Jerry isn't much better off than with the cats.This cartoon features excellent animation, the usual Tom and Jerry violence and good production values. A decent but not super-outstanding cartoon--but considering it's vintage Tom and Jerry, it's still well worth seeing.
Antzy88 * This has a spoiler of sorts, but not about the cartoon's storyline *One Saturday night, the black maid decides to go and play bridge at a club, leaving Tom alone. Tom then invites three cat friends (including the black cat, Butch) into the house for a party with loud music, which disturbs Jerry. Jerry then tries to get rid of the feline fiends!This is a funny cartoon, and has a bit of a twist at the end!There have been two versions of this that I have seen: the original one with the black maid intact, and the other where she was replaced by a white woman (who also had the same drawl as the original maid, and did some completely different actions at the beginning and at the bridge club in which the sound effects and dialogue made no sense) -- naturally the former is superior, especially as later on in the other version the sound effects go out of synch with the actions on the screen. NOTE: If you see this on video or DVD, there is one point where you can see the maid's face if you use Pause! (Normally you can only see her from the chest down)
