I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

As Good As It Gets

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Fleischer were responsible for some brilliant cartoons, some of them still among my favourites. Their visual style often stunning and some of the most imaginative and ahead of its time in animation.The character of Betty Boop, one of their most famous and prolific characters, may not be for all tastes and sadly not as popular now, but her sex appeal was quite daring for the time and to me there is an adorable sensual charm about her. The charm, sensuality and adorability factors are here and she's fun to watch. The rest of the characters are similarly enormously entertaining.'Betty Boop's Big Boss' is not quite up there with Betty's best, but is never less than enormously entertaining, even though dealing with a serious subject matter, with some very inventively timed, very ahead of the time pre-code material and very funny humour. The cartoon's somewhat thin on plot, although one of the shorter Betty Boop cartoons, but despite how it all sounds the subject matter of sexual harassment while treated with humour is also handled with taste.Furthermore, the black and white animation is extremely good, smooth, meticulously detailed and well drawn with the black and white not looking too primitive. A lot of it is actually very imaginative as well. Even better is the music, which is rousing, catchy and unquestionably accessible to anybody who loves or is familiar with the composition style.All in all, very good cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox

At slightly over 6 minutes, "Betty Boop's Big Boss" is one of the shorter Betty Boop cartoons and this one is from 1933, so also already way over 80 years old. Fleischer Studios made this one with Mae Questel, the most known Betty voice actress. Betty wants a job at an office and sings to the boss while moving lasciviously around him. Of course, she gets it, but the job wants a reward too for picking her for the job. So he may become a bit too much for Betty to handle. But the ending really made me wonder if it was all just one weird role play and the thousands of police men came for nothing really. It seems that way. And what is with that tower and how it changes his shape. Don't tell me they did not think of anything else when including this animation. A little film full of sexual references (and I keep reading "big boobs" and "big ass" in the title), which is not too common for the early 1930s I am sure. But sadly, it was not particularly funny or entertaining and I give it a thumbs-down.

I am just about 100% sure that you'll not be seeing "Betty Boop's Big Boss" on television….ever. That's because with modern sensibilities comes a heightened awareness of the evils of sexual harassment—and this cartoon seems to be endorsing sexual harassment! Because of this, I'd love to show it to my one daughter—she would likely have an apoplexy watching it! The film begins with Betty and many other women answering an ad. However, it soon becomes apparent that Betty's good looks have won her the job. She cannot type worth a darn but that doesn't matter—as the boss really only has whoopee on his mind. Betty resists and calls for help—and it soon arrives. However, in a VERY politically incorrect ending, it turns out Betty LIKES the sexual harassment and tells her helpers to get lost! Overall, while the message is rather smarmy, the quality of the animation is lovely. Plus the cartoon certainly will entertain…as well as offend and reinforce negative stereotypes. Oops.

A man posts a sign on a big building: 'GIRL WANTED: Top Floor, Female Preferred." Immediately, thousands of women cram in the building and go up to see the boss. Betty stands out from the crowd, shaking her hips and getting attention from the old man. "What can you do? he asks.She replies, in song, "Well, I'm not much in crowd but when you get me alone - yeoow - you'll be surprised." (This was pre-Code cartoon!) Here's the next line: "I don't know how to type, but if you take me home, you'll get a surprise." She follows with more of the same. She gets the old man worked up and he immediately gets rid of the rest of the women by pulling a level and they all drop the ground level!Betty keeps singing to the guy with these sexy, come-on lyrics so, of course, she is hired. Minutes later, when he makes a pass at her, she calls the cops. (Women!!!) After that is some of the wildest, most absurd scenes I've ever watched in a cartoon with a really crazy ending.This is a totally off-the-wall but very entertaining Betty Boop cartoon, one that certainly would not have been made from 1934 on, for either Code reasons up to 1967 and then for political correctness bias since then.
