The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (171)

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 1950 What's Up, Doc? directed by Robert McKimson.



In this short, he recounts his life story to a reporter from Disassociated Press. Bugs talks about his birth, his rise to fame, the slow years, and when famous Vaudeville performer Elmer Fudd chooses him to be part of his act. Eventually the duo comes upon their classic formula of Hunter vs. Hare.


Before the start of our feature presentation ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like to salute one of the important people taking carry of the home front on the fight against COVID - 19 - the moms and dads stuck at home with their kids -



Take the great advice: Remembering that 'we might not have it all together, but together we have it all'.


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 drum beats and yodelling.

We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider for today's feature. Today choice - Swing Time - The sixth of RKO's Fred Astaire -Ginger Rogers pairings of the 1930s. Directed by George Stevens, Swing Time is often considered one of their best pairings, rivaled only possibly by Top Hat. So why not sit back and relax (quick, move some of the furniture out of the way, should you be so moved to dance along,) get a snack (perhaps, some potato chips,) and a beverage and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this superb film, Swing Time. -



Fred Astaire always insisted that his dance routines be filmed in one continuous camera shot, showing the dancer(s) from head to foot. However, in the Never Gonna Dance number, there is an obvious moment when Astaire and Rogers reach the tops of their respective winding staircases that the camera shot changes quickly to reflect the fact that the filming camera had to be brought upstairs to shoot the close-up finale of the dance number.
