The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (169)

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 1950 Homeless Hare directed by Chuck Jones.



This title has been edited in the past: the part where Bugs throws a brick to the construction worker's head with a message attached was edited to remove the brick actually making contact with his head and the shot of the brick on the construction worker's face before he rips the note off and reads it.


Before the start of our feature presentation ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like you to watch the important PSA - Although we are living during COVID - 19 - Let hear how the stay in place by a singing novice on a mountainside -



Remember, use ACME Eagle Hand Soap frequently and Please do not swan around Saltzburg, singing without wearing masks.


We hope you are doing well with your self quarantines - the programming department of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour have been vigorously scrubbing themselves with ACME Eagle Hand Soap - If your eagle's hands are dirty, we'll wash them clean! and sanitizing themselves for your protection. We are also engaged in social distancing - we are communicating with each other via morse code and carrier pigeon.

We have gone back to the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider for today's feature. So violent and scandalous was tonight's feature that it almost personally brought on Hollywood's Movie Code. 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, Scarface: The Shame of the Nation. -



Screenwriter Ben Hecht was a former Chicago journalist familiar with the city's Prohibition-era gangsters, including Al Capone. During the filming Hecht returned to his Los Angeles hotel room one night to find two Capone torpedoes waiting for him. The gangsters demanded to know if the movie was about Capone. Hecht assured them it wasn't, saying that the character Tony Camonte was based on gangsters like "Big" Jim Colosimo and Charles Dion O'Bannion. "Then why is the movie called Scarface?" one of the hoods demanded. "Everyone will think it's about Capone!" "That's the reason," said Hecht. "If you call the movie Scarface, people will think it's about Capone and come to see it. It's part of the racket we call show business." The Capone hoods, who appreciated the value of a scam, left the hotel placated.


Before you go - let's hear more about the tolls of social isolation from a murderous teen-age girl from Kansas -



Kids, being home alone at anytime is tough but please don't drop your home on elderly spinsters who happens to annoy you. Someday we'll over COVID-19 quarantine!
