The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (106)

Thank you for joining us today

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1941 Friz Freleng directed, Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt, (This cartoon is the first Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.):


The cartoon itself was nominated for an Oscar for best Animated Short Film, however, it didn't win.


It's been unusually cold out there and even the good old doctor has taken pity on the staff. So tonight we're going to sit around a watch a good old fashion double feature. Here at the ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour, we spare no expense; we acquire two of the finest films for our viewing pleasure today - The Brain from Planet Arous and Fiend Without a Face. Run into the kitchen, grab a bag of your favorite chips and a beverage (alcoholic or not - your choice,) and come back to catch the first feature.



Director Nathan Juran insisted on being billed as "Nathan Hertz" (Hertz was Juran's middle name), apparently because he was embarrassed by this film's low budget and poor quality.



Welcome back my friends. Our next feature is an independent film, produced in England in the late 1950s, Fiend Without a Face. So hopefully you took your bathroom break during our brief intermission. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour's second feature today



In an interview, star Marshall Thompson recalled that director Arthur Crabtree didn't really want to direct the film--he thought sci-fi was "beneath" him--and often didn't show up for work. Eventually, according to Thompson, Crabtree walked off the picture, and Thompson himself finished directing it.
