It's called HE CAN'T MAKE IT STICK, a Hitler spoof full of wild humor satirizing Adolph as a crazed wallpaper-hanger. The only copy i ever saw had no picture (only audio) for the first three minutes or so.Will Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297122976077620877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573514568417810856.post-81256121654132561402009-08-26T17:21:46.152-07:002009-08-26T17:21:46.152-07:00Oh bless you Sherm.

I have a good copy of JITTERBUG FOLLIES but lost my old VHS of WANTED... years ago. <br /><br />There's written record of some Gross silent shorts but who knows if they exists. <br /><br />I think he directed one more for MGM, the color CAPTAIN'S CHRISTMAS, featuring the Katzenjammer Kids. Not his characters, but still his humor. <br /><br />As for why Milt never made more shorts it seems that he was out-maneuvered by Joe Barbera in Barbera's political quest to be top dog at MGM. That was my reading of it from Barbera's own autobiography.Will Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297122976077620877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573514568417810856.post-7528742347281500182009-08-26T11:29:31.548-07:002009-08-26T11:29:31.548-07:00Hi Sherm,
