Directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese, "For Scent-imental Reasons" is an excellent Pepe Le Pew cartoon. This time around, Pepe finds his "cherie" inside a perfume shop.
Highlights: Mel Blanc's vocal acting is absolutely hilarious at the beginning of this short, as the perfume store owner and the gendarme both react in horror at the sight of Pepe, who of course never realizes that he stinks. With some appropriate musical accompaniment from Carl Stalling, Pepe bounces merrily after the frightened cat/skunk. A glass plate separates Pepe and the cat, but their inaudible words are still clear to each other.
During the opening titles of "For Scent-imental Reasons", the song we hear is "Every Day I Love You Just a Little Bit More". How could any other love song be more appropriate for the character Pepe Le Pew?
