Watch Out for Those Cigarettes

House Clearing Blues (1937)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Fun short has Betty Boop waking up after a wild party only to discover that her house is a mess. She tries to clean up everything that the people left behind but she can't do it. Thankfully Grampy shows up with an invention to do it for her. HOUSE CLEARING BLUES is a fun short even if it doesn't come close to being a classic. I think there's a lot of charm running throughout the film and especially early on when Betty is trying to get her house clean but there's just one mistake after another leading to bigger messes. There's a line here about Betty not liking people smoking and you gotta believe that. Just take a look at how many cigarette butts are laying around the house. It's a miracle the house didn't burn down! Once Grampy arrives on the scene things stay pretty fast and there's no doubt that his inventions contain some nice imagination from the Fleischer boys. As you'd expect the animation is high quality throughout and of course Betty's charm is running high.
