Long story short; not much


We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1967 Soviet horror film, Viy, directed by Konstantin Yershov and Georgi Kropachyov and starring Leonid Kuravlyov , and Natalya Varley. In 19th century Russia, a seminary student is forced to spend three nights with the corpse of a beautiful young witch. But when she rises from the dead to seduce him, it will summon a nightmare of fear, desire and the ultimate demonic mayhem. Viy was distributed by Mosfilm, and was the first Soviet-era horror film to be officially released in the USSR. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch Viy.



Nikolay Stepanov who plays the demon Viy, was a circus artist. He was cast for his strength, because costume of the creature was extremely heavy.

Long story short; it would be bad


We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1967 animated feature, The Jungle Book, directed by Wolfgang Reitherman and voiced by Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Louis Prima, George Sanders, Sterling Holloway, J. Pat O'Malley, and Bruce Reitherman. The Jungle Book was the last animated feature Walt Disney supervised before his death in December 1966. The film was release to very positive reviews and became one of Disney's highest-grossing animated film in the United States and Canada, It has been rumored that this film had the second most dope smoked during production (you go look up that bit of trivia); the first being The Blue Brothers Movie. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch The Jungle Book.



Walt Disney died during production of this film. Many people wondered at what the studio's fate would be, particularly the animation division. The film performed extremely well at the box office, ensuring that the animators would not be put out of work. Had the film failed, it is likely that animation would have been closed down at the Disney studio.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1959 People Are Bunny, (starring Bugs Bunny) and directed by Robert McKimson.



This is the second time in which Bugs disguises himself as an usher to send someone into a show that involved Indians and then trick his enemy into a hunter/sportsman related show. The first was Wideo Wabbit where Bugs sends Elmer Fudd into a TV studio playing You Were There, which was reenacting Custer's Last Stand and then trick him into his own show The Sportsman's Hour.

We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1967 Czeck New Wave comedy, The Firemen's Ball, (AKA Horí, Má Panenko), directed and written by Miloš Forman (among others,), and starring Jan Vostrcil . The Firemen's Ball was the last film Forman made in his native Czechoslovakia before he relocated to the United States. It is also the first film he shot in color. In spite of many claims the film was banned in Czechoslovakia by the communists in power at the time, it was not. It actually sold over 750,000 tickets in the country and was shown on state-controlled television in 1969. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch The Firemen's Ball.



Milos Forman with screenwriters Jaroslav Papousek and Ivan Passer were in the small town of Vrchabi, trying to concentrate on a screenplay after their success with Loves of a Blonde. One evening, on a lark, they went to a real firemen's ball in the town. What they saw there was so amazing to them, they abandoned the script they were working on and began writing this film.

This photo was taken by Horace Bristol (1908-1997). In 1941, Bristol was recruited to the U.S. Naval Aviation Photographic Unit, as one of six photographers under the command of Captain Edward J. Steichen, documenting World War II in places such as South Africa and Japan.

In 1944, this young crewman of a US Navy “Dumbo” PBY rescue mission has just jumped into the water of Rabaul Harbor (New Britain Island, Papua New Guinea), to rescue a badly burned Marine pilot who was shot down while bombing the Japanese-held fortress of Rabaul. Since Japanese coastal defense guns were firing at the plane while it was in the water during take-off, this brave young man, after rescuing the pilot, manned his position as machine gunner without taking time to put on his clothes.

Today's film is the 1967 Brazilian Cinema Novo drama, Entranced Earth, (AKA Terra em Transe), directed by Glauber Rocha, and starring Jardel Filho, Paulo Autran, José Lewgoy, and Glauber Rocha.  Initially this controversial file was banned from being shown in Brazil for "tarnishing the image of Brazil" but after protests by both Brazilian and French filmmakers, it was allowed to be screened at Cannes and in Brazil by the Brazilian government. It debuted in the 1967 Cannes Film Festival where it won the FIPRESCI Award. It also won the Golden Leopard award at the Locarno International Film Festival in 1968.

China Jones is a spoof of the 1952-55 TV series, China Smith, starring Dan Duryea. This short is one of many that has not aired on American television since the 1990s due to outdated racial stereotyping of East Asians that modern audiences would find offensive.

Today's film is the 1966 Czechoslovak New Wave comedy, Closely Watched Trains, (AKA Ostre sledované vlaky), directed by Jirí Menzel, and starring Václav Neckár. At the time, the film received very good reviews and was one of the best known Czech films, going on to win the Best Foreign Language Oscar in 1968.

This was so good, I think it can bring Freddie back.


We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1967 charming french musical, Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, (The Young Girls Of Rochefort), directed by Jacques Demy, and starring Catherine Deneuve, Françoise Dorléac, George Chakiris, Michel Piccoli, and guest starring, Gene Kelly and Danielle Darrieux. At the time, The Young Girls Of Rochefort did well at the box office. The classic homage to the Hollywood musical is considered one of the greatest musical ever produced. The film displays the director's unique and ever-present combination of melancholy and euphoria, American commercialism and French provincialism, and the curious relationship between chance and fate. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch The Young Girls Of Rochefort.



Jacques Demy originally thought of casting Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn as the twin sisters. Françoise Dorléac, Catherine Deneuve's actual sister, was tragically killed in a car accident at age 25 just three months after the film's release in France and almost a year before it was released in the U.S.

Today's film is the 1967 crime thriller, Point Blank, directed by John Boorman and starring Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn, and Carroll O'Connor.. At the time, Point Blank was the moderate hit, earning just over $9 million on it initial release. The film is now widely regarded as cult classic.

This was the first film shot at Alcatraz, the infamous prison which had been shut since 1963, only three years before the production.

We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1967 comedy, PlayTime, directed and starring Jacques Tati.. At the time, PlayTime was the most expensive film ever made in France and the film was a financial failure upon release but is now widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. The plot of the film is secondary; characters and dialogue are given a backseat as we instead watch social situations. In working with wide images, audiences become active participants and observers and can scan entire frames and focus on a certain part of the created image. In abandoning a conventional narrative, Jacques Tati provides us with a meditative experience. The audience, along with his camera, wanders around Paris throughout the course of a full day, encountering various situations and people. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch PlayTime

Despite that Zookeeper Burton says that Taz becomes docile when exposed to music, Taz seems to not be affected by music that sounds unpleasant to his ears. In this case, Taz didn't like the sound of Scottish pipe music, so when Daffy played music with the Scottish pipe, Taz snatched it away from him and smashed it.

In Chinese culture, "Ben Ming Nian" means the year when your zodiac animal aligns with the current Chinese Zodiac year. You might think this brings good luck, but in traditional Chinese belief, it's a year filled with challenges and problems in all parts of your life. However, traditional ways exist to protect yourself from bad luck and gain favour with the gods, even during your Ben Ming Nian.


Another facet of the Lunar New Year celebration, is about traditions. Here at ACME, we can think of no better way to continue with a tradition than watching this 1985 Jackie Chan comedy film, My Lucky Stars, directed by Sammo Hung, and starring Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao. My Lucky Stars is the second film in the Lucky Stars series, and a semi-sequel to Winners and Sinners. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.



During a break in filming in Japan, Jackie Chan was actually chased down by a mob of fans who recognized him. The mob almost caused Chan's death when one of them grabbed a hold of his scarf and nearly strangled him as he ran away.

So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.



Instead of doing a proper sequel, Stephen Chow took his "Gambling Saint" character into Wong Jing's God of Gamblers franchise for two subsequent features. The only true sequel/spin-off to All for the Winner is the film The Top Bet, which cast Anita Mui as Sing's sister. Stephen Chow had a minor cameo in that film.
