Hollywood Daffy

Hollywood Daffy is a 1946 Warner [Bros.] Merrie Melodies cartoon, starring Daffy Duck. The cartoon was written by Michael Maltese and was released on June 22, 1946.
Friz Freleng was originally intended to direct the short, but refused to work on it as he was unsatisfied with the story. The feud resulted in Freleng receiving about a month suspension from the studio. Hawley Pratt, Freleng's layout artist, would direct the short uncredited.

Plot

The film begins with a pack of wolves howling in the center of Hollywood as a spot for men looking to pick up women. Daffy, having travelled to Hollywood, attempts to get into the "Warmer Bros." studio to see movie stars. However, the abrasive Keystone Cops-like security guard with a Joe Besser-like voice will not let him pass through the gate. After unsuccessfully endeavoring to enter the studio by way of various disguises and being thrown out each time, culminating with Daffy posing as a film director, but ultimately this disguise is exposed as well. Daffy finally declares that he won't leave until he literally "sees stars." The guard agrees to figuratively show him the stars, then bashes Daffy over the head and throws him out of the studio, where the dazed Daffy can see all the stars he wants...circling his head.
