The Flying Gauchito (1945)

As is the case with literally hundreds of other Dizzy films . . .

[7/10 · 9 July 2022]

. . . if you type the title of this animated short exactly as it appears in the credits, this site rejects it as a misspelling. How could this be? Wonder many casual viewers not "in the know" about the inner workings of Tinsel Town. The short answer is that from its inception, Dizzy has been considered an infamous "Poverty Row" renegade outfit, constantly underpaying its creative talent, whether on-screen cast or behind-the-scenes crew, such as the writers and people who type out the titles. The list of Hollywood legends who have left this cheap, tightwad, penny-pinching, crass, mercenary, under-financed, greedy, humbug cult after being unfortunate enough to start careers there is virtually endless, beginning with "Silly Symphony" inventor Carl W. Stalling. Had not Dizzy been more successful at corrupting, manipulating and virtually dictating the U. S. legal system then in releasing quality entertainment with actual educational or provocative value, it surely would have gone permanently belly up by the mid 1930's.
