Good concept, poorly executed.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Delight
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This is an Inspector short from Depatie-Freleng. There will be spoilers ahead:The Inspector is part of an exchange program with Canada. His first assignment is to bring in Two-Faced Harry, who literally has two faces. The Inspector wastes no time in meeting one of Harry's two faces in a saloon.The sole reason this cartoon works at all is because The Inspector isn't the shiniest pebble in the pond. Virtually every gag in this up until the ending requires that The Inspector do or say something stupid. This takes the intriguing premise and wastes it, burying it under the same old "The Inspector is a bumbling idiot" routine.The ending works, but it's hardly novel, having been used in some form by most animation studios previously, to better effect.This short is available on the second of two DVDs which contain between them all 34 of the Inspector shorts. The DVDs are well worth getting.
