Directed by Bob Godfrey
Voice Irene Handle dist. . lr/10-'2m., colour.
A hen-pecked husband's fantasy comes true when the suds of his washing powder form into a voluptuous and extremely erotic young woman.
She can obviously give him something that his wife can't ( or won't ), so when his better half returns home from work he locks his 'bubble of delight' in a cupboard for future enjoyment.
Late that night he creeps out of bed for some more fun, but his energetic lovemaking in the cupboard not only awakens his wife but causes it to topple over and kills her when she goes to investigate.
Free at last from the nagging old dragon our hero looks forward to a life of bliss with his lovely bubble, but she disappears alas as mysteriously as she arrived, only to be replaced by a much more unwelcome apparition.
This is the most recent of Bob Godfrey's adult cartoons and, in the opinion of this reviewer, by far the best. A superb piece of animation employing techniques reminiscent of Ub Iwerks and early Disney (particularly in the use of shadows and the fantastic dream sequence).
It's extremely imaginative and very funny with the voice of the nagging wife hilariously supplied by Irene Handl. Apart from some slight softness on the actual title lettering the print is excellent. Very sharp with rich, well saturated, yet natural colour.
The soundtrack is first rate too, and this coupled with the full 10-'2 minutes running time (it's supplied on a bulging 200' spool) help to compensate for a fairly high retail price.
Incidentally the treatment of the subject matter is not that "adult" and consequently could be safely shown to perhaps a slightly wider audience than some of the other Bob Godfrey cartoons. Highly Recommended.
