The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (179)

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 1951 Bunny Hugged, (featuring The Crusher) directed by Chuck Jones.


The short is essentially a re-working of Jones's 1948 short Rabbit Punch, substituting wrestling for boxing.


Before the start of our feature presentation ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like to bring you another funny video parody from Shirley Serban - this time, aimed to those who find self-quarantining burdensome.



Unfortunately this sentiment is not limited to dead Hollywood stars.


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 pencil taps during congressional hearings and suggestive dancing.

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 - The Man In Grey (1943) put both the Gainsborough melodramas and actor James Mason on the map. The film was a blockbuster in England at the time but almost unknown now (A large caveat with the film - one minor but important character in the film is played by a white child actor in blackface - so please note.) With that in mind, please join ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this little remembered but interesting film, The Man in Grey -

James Mason was originally cast as Rokeby, but he took over the villain's part of the Marquis of Rohan, replacing Eric Portman.  Stewart Granger inherited the role of Rokeby.
