Featured review
Recently catching I'm Much Obliged (1936) and D.E.B.S. (2003-both reviewed) I decided to check what other shorts I had laying around for a viewing. Picking this up after reading online that this is "brilliantly funny" a few years ago (!) I at last went for a fix.
View on the film:
Backed by a (uncredited) jaunty score, co-writer/co-directors Burleigh Smith & Codey Wilson merrily keep the camera at the height of Jemimah (played by a cheery Amara Harnisch) looking up as adults discuss having her beloved dog Tilly desexed. Written by six people (!) the screenplay is one which sadly falls flat,with the off-the-cuff one-liners about taking the dog for an operation landing ruff,and Jesmimah's attempt to "save" Tilly barking up a dead-end.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeveral scenes in the screenplay did not make the final cut, including one scene where Jemimah gives Tilly a medical examination and another where she dresses Tilly in her older sister's fishnet stockings and bra and tries to prostitute her on a street corner. These cuts were made to meet Tropfest's seven-minute time limit.
- GoofsDuring the lemonade stand scene, Tilly is looking to the right in the mid shot. When it cuts to the wide shot, she is looking to the left.
- Alternate versionsAn early cut of the film featured a sleek black dog exiting the family home at the start.
