Originally saw this on the old PBS show "Matinee At The Bijou". Must be 40 years ago. Columbia was making some high quality cartoons around this time.

"The best bones of all go to Symphony Hall" was a parody of a slogan on radio: "The best tunes of all go to Carnegie Hall."

Elementary! I suspect if I voice Sherlock Holmes, then in the next 5 years, Sherlock would narrated the film I'm in.

It has been written that Columbia's cartoons from the mid-1940s suffer from misguided story direction. If you ever see such cartoons as "Giddy Yapping" (1944) and "Mass Mouse Meeting" (1943), you might see such examples of what I'm writing about.

Dr. Strepokowski is a great villain, with a great design, and great voice. I enjoyed this VERY offbeat toon from start to finish. It reminded me a lot of the kind of cartooning done decades later for tv for the hipper shows, like New Adventures of Mighty Mouse. The final gag is a bit obscure since no one knows the reference anymore, but who cares. The opening, the cab ride, building the skeleton in the museum, and the beautiful giant skeletal concert were all wonderful. Fine Holmes parody too.

The title, Case of the Screaming Bishop, while having no particular relation to the story seems to be borrowed from a Perry Mason film, the Case of the Stuttering Bishop which was a late 30s film, as were the first Basil Rathbone/NigelBruce Holmes films, (which were the only ones set in Victorian England).

I agree with diddymuck below --- this cartoon doesn't make a whole lot of sense --- and yet there's something about it that's unique and memorable. Maybe it's just its wacky weirdness. I first saw it when I was a kid, maybe 60 years ago, and I never forgot it. I was delighted when I found it was on KZfaq.

Well I disagree. I think it's funny.

the villain, strepokowski, is based on an actual character from one of the books, but i can't remember. he even disappears just like in this cartoon, it's funny, although i think it might have been a hallucination.. i haven't looked into it in ages, does anyone remember?

The villain character looks like a prototype for Beetlejuice.

now that I've seen it after 30 years it doesn't make a lot of sense.
