LOONEY TUNES (Looney Toons): Hell Bent for Election (1944) (Ultra 4K) | Robert Lees, E.Y. Harburg
This video streams up to Ultra HD 4k (2160p). “Hell Bent for Election” is an allegorical campaign film, designed to inspire viewers to register and to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt. FDR is depicted as a modern streamlined steam locomotive, the "Win the War Special", pulling a high-speed freight train of war material, whereas his opponent, Thomas E. Dewey, is depicted as an old creaky steam locomotive, the "Defeatist Limited" pulling cars variously representing hot air, high prices, taxes, business as usual ( a sleeper car), poor housing for war workers, a hearse wagon for labor legislation, a small two wheel cart with just a few apples inside for unemployment insurance, and finally a caboose named "Jim Crow."
Director: Chuck Jones (as Charles M. Jones)
Writers: Robert Lees, E.Y. Harburg (lyrics)
