Walt Disney’s “Lady and the Tramp” (Buena Vista, 1955). Magazine ad.
“Lady, pretty, prim and proper . . . Tramp, a dashing, raffish rogue with a sunny disposition and shady past. They will break your heart one minute . . . warm it the next . . . and before you know it – have you rocking with laughter. Gay and happy, it’s the most entertaining motion picture Walt Disney ever made!” [Ad copy]
“The First all-cartoon feature in Cinemascope.”
The film is based on the 1945 Cosmopolitan magazine story “Happy Dan, the Cynical Dog” by Ward Greene. Lady is voiced by Barbara Luddy and Tramp by Larry Roberts. Singer Peggy Lee not only voiced four characters but co-wrote six songs for the film.

"Lady and the Tramp" receives a 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the website's consensus states, "A nostalgic charmer, Lady and the Tramp's token sweetness is mighty but the songs and richly colored animation are technically superb and make for a memorable experience."
