The last Tom and Jerry cartoon of 1967's cartoons filmed.
This episode features a surfing theme, popular in the 60's due to surf-esque both music and films. The score has some surfy music, too.
Comedian Jimmy Durante makes a cameo spoof as a determined octopus. And Jerry actually utters a sound (a Yikes! kind), one of the few times he actually is heard (above the occasional whisper).
