Daffy Duck or the Generous Writer
Abstract
Daffy Duck or the Generous Writer
Antonio D’Alfonso shows the true nature of Warner Brothers short animated film “Duck Amuck” (1953), by Michael Maltese, a screenwriter of Italian origins. Behind the surreal of its appearances, this cartoon hides the question of ethnicity.
