July 8, 1950 –
The Looney Tunes short, 8 Ball Bunny, dircted by Chuck Jones and starring Bugs Bunny, was released on this date.
8 Ball Bunny has a double connection to Humphrey Bogart: 1) Bogart’s character from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre shows up three times in caricature, begging money from Bugs. 2) Bugs sings a song in calypso style summarizing the plot up to that point. This exact song formula was used a year later for the Bogart and Bacall radio series, BOLD VENTURE, after the commercial break.
