Dangerous Dan McFoo

I found two cartoons directed by Tex Avery with the same subject, but produced at different times and for different studios.  The comparison is interesting.  Today we have the 1939 version made by Warner Bros.  From the Internet Archive, here is Dangerous Dan McFoo.  This copy has subtitles in French.  Watch for Betty Davis to show up around 2:40 (seriously!).
