Bacall to Arms is a 1946 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies series short planned by Bob Clampett and finished by Arthur Davis, in his second-to-last cartoon at Warner Bros. The short was released on August 3, 1946. The title refers both to Hemingway's 1929 novel A Farewell to Arms and actress Lauren Bacall, whose acclaimed 1944 film debut was in To Have and Have Not, based on Hemingway's 1937 novel, as well as a play on the term "a call to arms".
