great fun

That is one of the special features on the "******s or Ballots" DVD.
I believe they weren't made for general public viewing but instead were reels shown board members and such.
Claude Rains says "G** D*** it" with such dramatic gravity in some of those.
I saw a clip of Porky Pig swearing once and it turned out to be from of the "Breakdowns". I think it was 1939's.
The Criterion DVD of "My Man Godfrey" has some great bloopers as well.

Thanks for sharing,
The Wolf

They've been messing with this reel over the years. Porky Pig neither looked nor sounded like that in 1936. His head was a lot smaller and Mel Blanc wasn't yet voicing him (started in '37).

The special edition Maltese Falcon DVD has one also. You know what I think these are - Jack Warner apparently liked to collect and show these star blooper shorts at his annual Christmas party for the Warner theater managers etc... I read about that in the Ida Lupino biography by William Donati, and then somewhere else just recently.
