The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (172)

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 8 Ball Bunny (featuring the 'Playboy' Penguin,) directed by Chuck Jones.



Please note: in the past, the part where Bugs and Playboy are captured by South American natives is edited to remove the part where one of the natives runs to warn the group of "bwana" Humphrey Bogart coming and the group scattering. The scene was replaced with a frozen shot of Bogart's feet while the sound of the group muttering and fleeing was heard.


Before the start of our feature presentation ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like to salute all name brand products in their fight against COVID - 19

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 invisible ink and secret messaging through BBC Radio One.

We've were sitting around, observing the correct social distancing spacing, celebrating Star War's Day (May the Fourth) and were thinking about the fantastic career of Alec Guinness. Someone remembered a wonderful yet almost forgotten film of his from the 50s and we immediately decided that we had to show that one. The Man In The White Suit (1951) - another very funny comedy from Ealing Studio, directed by Alexander Mackendrick. (We're thinking, perhaps in the Fall, we do an Ealing Studio film festival.) 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 crisps,) and a cuppa and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this superb film, The Man In The White Suit -



Alec Guinness performed the stunt of climbing down the side of the mansion. He was convinced by a technician, that the piano wire holding him up would not break, since only piano wire with kinks in it would be prone to breaking. As he got to about four feet from the ground, the wire did in fact break.
