How it feels

A cartoon character sings a love song and gets into comically exaggerated situations. The short is built around the title tune with silly visual gags and slapstick.

What happens

I Only Have Eyes for You is a 1937 American animated comedy short film directed by Fred Avery. The short was released on February 27, 1937. It is the 70th film in the Merrie Melodies series, featuring the song of the same name. Its working title was "I Only Have Ice for You". It was re-released as a "Blue Ribbon" reissue in 1947, rendering the original film lost; Avery kept a nitrate fragment of the original titles, which was sold by his family in 2004 to a private collector, but still available publicly at extremely low definition.
