Friz Freleng's Bingo Crosbyana premieres, produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions. Like Let It Be Me, it features a caricature of Bing Crosby, which the real Crosby found offensive, resulting in him trying to stop distribution of the short.[14]
Len Lye's experimental animated film A Colour Box is shown, but causes a riot among Nazi supporters who label it degenerate art and protest the film. They stomp their feet loudly, leading to the three-minute film being stopped before its completion.[23]
