Strife with Father premiered

April 1, 1950

The fourth and final cartoon to feature Beaky Buzzard, Strife with Father, directed by Robert McKimson, debuted on this date.

When Beaky’s father says “If I were King…“, Beaky responds “That’s no King…that’s Monty“. This was also meant as a reference to then British Viscount Sir Bernard Law Montgomery (commonly called Monty).
