The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (166)

Thank you for joining us today.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1949 Rabbit Hood, directed by Chuck Jones.



The line, "Bugs Bunny: Arise, Duke of Brittingham!" is an in-joke regarding the bar Brittingham was across the street from the Warner Brothers cartoon studio. Bugs asks the Sheriff of Nottingham if he is a veteran refers to the fact that many WW2 veterans had trouble obtaining housing loans.


Before the start of our feature presentation ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like you to watch the important PSA from Charo

We hope you are doing well with your self quarantines - the programming department of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour have been liberally washing themselves with ACME Eagle Hand Soap - If your eagle's hands are dirty, we'll wash them clean! and santizing themselves for your protection. We are also engaged in social distancing - we are communicating with each other via smoke signals and addis lamps. We have been re-reading an excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. This time what jumped out at us was completely unknown silent film (unless you are a film student) from 1929. Man With A Movie Camera (Chelovek s kinoapparatom), a freewheeling Russian documentary depicting the city of Moscow from sunrise to sunset (although it took director Dziga Vertof (Denis Kaufman) and the editor, Yelizaveta Svilova (his wife) four years to film this day, and he worked in three cities: Moscow, Kiev and Odessa.) This is an important film that more people should know about. So why not sit back and relax (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack (perhaps, some popcorn,) and a beverage and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this superb film, Man With A Movie Camera. -




A revelation in its day, the film was noted for introducing all sorts of camera techniques to audiences. Some of these include double exposure, fast motion, slow motion, freeze frames, jump cuts, split screens, Dutch angles, extreme close-ups, tracking shots, backward footage, and stop motion animation.
