Has Its Points

Private McGillicuddy is desperate for some variety in his diet on a South Pacific Island. Unfortunately, the native food ranges from inedible to poisonous!

After they ceased to make theatrical cartoons in the early 1940s, Harman & Ising kept busy with industrial films and, during the war, films for the Armed Forces. Here, with this short for the Navy, Harman shows some interesting technique on a short budget: black and white, and with the in-betweening reduced.

It's certainly not as full of humor and personality and the Private Snafu cartoons, but it does have Mel Blanc narrating in a sarcastic tone of voice.
