...little rabbits, a white rabbit and a black rabbit, lived in a large forest. They loved to spend all day playing together. "Let's play Hop Skip And Jump Me" said the little white rabbit. "Oh, let's . . . I wish you were all mine!" said the little black rabbit . . . All the other little rabbits came out to see how happy they both were, and they danced all night in the moonlight.

...Geisha Boy (Jerry Lewis; Paramount). Jerry Lewis stands glaring across the body of a sleeping blonde at a white rabbit. Jerry is a butterfingered magician who has all he can do to pull the rabbit out of a hat.
