Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a Sam Sheepdog and Ralph Wolf Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1954 Chuck Jones directed, Sheep Ahoy :
This is the second short featuring Sam Sheepdog and Ralph Wolf. The character names haven't stabilized yet. The dogs here are Ralph (day shift) and Fred (night shift) or maybe vice versa (the names are reversed at the beginning and end); the wolves are George (day) and Sam (night).
Today is the the first anniversary of President Trump's inauguration. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to celebrate the day by showing a double feature today of classic 50s Drive-in movies, in order to ease your worried minds. First up is the 1950 classic, Rocketship X M, one of the first science fiction films made after World War II.
This movie contained a sequence showing the consequences of atomic war on Mars, and how it had destroyed the once advanced Martian civilization. This is one of the first times a movie showed the dangers of atomic war, and might have actually been the first.
Everyone quickly run to the kitchen to get another bowl of popcorn and a drink. Our second feature today is the 1951 sci-fi thiller, Flight to Mars.
The suits that the Martians wear were leftovers from the film, Destination Moon, which opened a few weeks after Rocketship X M. The interior of the spaceship is the same one used for Rocketship X-M.
Demand Euphoria!
