Hollywood Steps Out

Hollywood Steps Out is a 1941 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon short directed by Tex Avery and produced by Leon Schlesinger. The short was released on May 24, 1941.

The cartoon features caricatures of over forty contemporary Hollywood celebrities (along with guest appearances).

A group of Hollywood stars is having an expensive dinner at Ciro's nightclub in West Hollywood. The first stars seen are Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, Adolphe Menjou and Norma Shearer. Greta Garbo, working as a cigarette girl, sells a pack to Cary Grant, then lights his cigarette by striking a match on her very large foot.

Edward G. Robinson asks Ann Sheridan "How's the Oomph girl tonight?" Sheridan responds by uttering the word "oomph" several times.

Warner Bros. staffers Henry Binder and Leon Schlesinger are shown. A seat is reserved for Bette Davis, as is an extra-wide sofa for Kate Smith. More seats are reserved for the characters of the Blondie films, including a fire hydrant for Daisy the dog.

In the cloakroom, Johnny Weissmuller checks a coat with Paulette Goddard that reveals his Tarzan outfit. Sally Rand leaves her trademark feather fans behind and is presumably naked.

James Cagney prepares Humphrey Bogart and George Raft for a risky task: pitching pennies.

Harpo Marx gives Garbo a hot foot, who reacts with a weary "Ouch". Clark Gable turns his head around 180 degrees to observe a blonde girl, whom he follows offscreen.
