The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (178)

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 1951 Rabbit Every Monday, (featuring Yosemite Sam) directed by Friz Freleng.



This is one of a few Yosemite Sam vs Bugs Bunny cartoons where both win in the end.


Before the start of our feature presentation ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like to bring you this important PSA - curb side pick up for library books has started in Nashville.



While this only affects those of you in the Greater Nashville area, we here at ACME salute the fact that your rodents did not become cannibals and became literary rapping stars, instead.


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 hieroglyphics and Navajo Code Talkers.

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 - (I believe our second Marlene Dietrich title from the list,) is from the Hollywood Studios 'Golden Age', the 1939 Comedy Western classic, Destry Rides Again. The role of Frenchie, seemed an odd choice for the glamorous Dietrich to revive her faltering movie career and yet the against casting choice was exactly what succeeded for her. So why not sit back and relax (find the most comfortable seat) get a snack and a large beer or two and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this fun film, Destry Rides Again -



Una Merkel recalled filming the fight sequence: "Neither of us knew what we were doing. We just plunged in and punched and slapped and kicked for all we were worth. They never did call in the stunt girls. Marlene stepped on my feet with her French heels. The toenails never grew back. She was stronger than me. She was very powerful and I was very thin. Luckily, I have a remarkable constitution. I was bruised from head to foot when it was over. I looked like an old peach, green with brown spots. And I felt like one too. At the end of the scene Jimmy Stewart came in and dumped a whole bucket of water over us. He did it in long shot. Then he had to do it over for close-ups. Then Life Magazine wanted pictures so they did it over again. He dumped water on us for hours."


Before you go - Bunkies, Jimmy Fallon (not one of our favorite alter kockers) had on the other night, one of our favorite alter kockers, proving that he's not wasting his time during the pandemic.-



Once again, it's nice to see that 70 something year old millionaires are doing their part.
