The early draft of "Gong with the Pink" in particular was interesting, including a somewhat racial gag.<BR/><BR/>Not that DFE was above stereotyping Asians, judging by a half of the theatrical Blue Racer shorts that came out about a year later.<BR/><BR/>MGM actually released the entire Roland and Rattfink output on DVD (although the only way to get it is through a $60 DVD set), including Irv's one writing credit to the series, Flying Feet. I might put that up someday.Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741995395720022279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846767028269360305.post-33490249675737695232009-03-02T20:53:00.000-05:002009-03-02T20:53:00.000-05:00Dave, thanks for the info.

My guess is that he directed many more bridges for the show that I don't have a record of.<BR/><BR/>Also, I've cobbled together another complete storyboard. Looks like it might have been a forerunner to Pink da Vinci, except it doesn't look all that much like that cartoon. Could be it's boards for another bridge. In it, PP is an artist who befriends a starving artist, who are then in a kind of competition for patrons.p spectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937340957485668849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846767028269360305.post-13799817535146260172009-03-02T17:49:00.000-05:002009-03-02T17:49:00.000-05:00Paul (and Bob), the Pink Panther cartoons were all...Paul (and Bob), the Pink Panther cartoons were all produced as theatricals, and would be used in the television show for NBC (and later ABC, in the case of the 1978 episodes) somewhat concurrently. Sometimes, a cartoon would show up on TV first, then be released to theatres later.<BR/><BR/>My filmography lists Spector as writer for the following films: "Flying Feet" (Roland and Rattfink), "Technology, Phooey" (Ant & Aardvark), "Scratch A Tiger" (Ant & Aardvark), and "Gong With The Pink" (Pink Panther), in addition to his director credit on the Warner Bros.-released "Corn on the Cop".Dave Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454782108761662940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846767028269360305.post-71805972463268363562009-03-02T16:22:00.000-05:002009-03-02T16:22:00.000-05:00Bob J., I noticed that too about the storyboard pa...Bob J., I noticed that too about the storyboard panels. It comes from a pad...like a pad of paper you'd buy at a store.<BR/>Nothing else I have from him resembles widescreen -- just the blank pad! I don't believe he did any theatrical PPs, although he might have worked on other DFE theatricals.p spectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937340957485668849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846767028269360305.post-28598313322958978132009-03-02T11:31:00.000-05:002009-03-02T11:31:00.000-05:00Great stuff!!It looks like the storyboard panels o...Great stuff!!<BR/><BR/>It looks like the storyboard panels on the blank sheet were formatted for widescreen film and not TV.
