Since even Speedy cartoons are largely under ban here in the ol' US of A, am I correct to assume this one is taboo as well?

Also.....did Hawley Pratt do any directing for any studios after this cartoon was released?

And.....the Beck/Friedwald book lists musical direction as by Milt Franklin. I thought he had died by this time. Which is correct?

Yes, that cartoon is very rarely shown.

Pratt directed a bunch of cartoons for Depate-Freleng, here is his entry at the Internet Movie Database: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Pratt,+Hawley

He mainly directed the Pink Panther.

And Bill Lava did the music for Seniorella, Franklyn's last cartoon was the first part of "The Jet Cage." He died half way through it, so Lava finished it off.

There is a rumor that Cartoon Network aired it a while ago, but has it been proven?

Milt Franklyn was dead by that time. It is just another one of the many errors in the Beck-Friedwald book.

Franklin did get credit posthumanously for two 1965 copyrighted cartoons, "Road Runner A Go-Go" and "Zip Zip Hurray!" which were the ones Warners created from the "Adventures of the Road Runner" TV pilot. Of course, since Chuck Jones was working over at MGM at the time, he was considered "dead" as far as getting any director's credit was concerned.

Senorella was part of the first Merrie Melodies package which was syndicated outside the USA during the 1970s and 1980s.

I've heard several repports that it aired on CN sometime about 2 years ago. Hawley Pratt actually did several Pink Panther cartoons, as mentioned above. He died several years ago, and I saved the internet obituary. I'll see if I still have it, I think it was written by Greg Duffel, who used to post here often, I believe. Pratt lived a fairly unhappy life, IIRC.

It's not a rumor. I saw it on CN myself and was just a surprised when I saw it.
