The Lady in Red is a 1935 Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series.
As with many of the early Merrie Melodies cartoons, part of its purpose was to promote a Warner song. In this case, the 1935 Warner film In Caliente (also known as Viva Señorita) featured a song called "The Lady in Red". Like the film, the cartoon was set in Mexico. The song would later become a staple of Carl Stalling's catalog of musical cues when he took over music direction of the Warner cartoons in 1936.
The Lady in Red is a 1979 film directed by Lewis Teague, which starred Pamela Sue Martin and Robert Conrad.
A Mexican Cafe after hours is the setting for a cockroach party a la Joe's Apartment (1996), where the eponymous star of the show is a hot, six-legged senorita in a red dress. An interloping parrot chashes the party, apparently determined to have the guest of honor as a snack. But the audience is not about to give up the object of their collective affection so easily, and one heroic bug manages to torch the parrot's tail and rescue the damsel in distress, which is, of course, a good excuse to continue the fiesta on into the night. Freling did partial remake of this cartoon the following year with flies and a spider standing in for the roaches and parrot in Bingo Crosbyana (1936). Written by runar-4
