'one past fourteene yeeres of age, beginning to bee moved with Venus delight,' (Henry Cockeram, An English Dictionary, 1623.) For those of you who are unaccustomed to reading definitions written in the linguistic register of an early-17th century smarty-pants lexicographer, the meaning of the word above is, well, "horny teenager."

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon (featuring Wile E. Coyote,) the 1952 Operation: Rabbit, directed by Chuck Jones.



This is Wile E. Coyote's (following 1949's Fast and Furry-ous) second appearance. This is the first in which he is given a name and the first in which the he speaks. His voice, like Bugs', was provided by Mel Blanc, albeit with a smooth, generic upper-class accent, in contrast to Bugs' Bronx-Brooklyn city slicker accent.

The 1946 film A Matter of Life and Death (AKA Stairway to Heaven) another wartime collaboration between Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (this time they got to use the Technicolor cameras.) The film was quite amazing for it's time. The huge escalator linking this World with the Other, called "Operation Ethel" by the firm of engineers who constructed her under the aegis of the London Passenger Transport Board, took three months to make, and cost £320,000, equivalent to £13,910,000 in 2019. "Ethel" had one hundred six steps, each twenty feet wide, and was driven by a twelve horsepower engine. The full shot was completed by hanging miniatures. Please join ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching the excellent, A Matter of Life and Death.-



During a visit to Hollywood in 1945, director Michael Powell decided to cast the then-unknown Kim Hunter as June, the American servicewoman, largely upon the recommendation of Alfred Hitchcock, who had done a series of screen tests of actors and actresses auditioning for parts in his upcoming production, Notorious. The trouble was that in these screen tests Hunter was not seen but, rather, was heard off-camera, feeding lines and cues to the actors Hitchcock was actually screen-testing. But Hitchcock assured Powell that he would arrange a "face-to-face" with Hunter and her agent, so that he could see for himself whether she fit the requirements of the "all-American" girl Powell had envisioned opposite David Niven. And upon first encountering Hunter, Powell agreed with Hitchcock that she, indeed, was a perfect choice for the role.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1951 Big Top Bunny, directed by Robert McKimson.



A 3-D version of this cartoon was produced for General Aniline & Film's (GAF) "View-Master" line in 1972, released in a three-reel package (21 "stereo images").

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 1946 classic Western, My Darling Clementine. It was the first post-war film for both John Ford and Henry Ford. Orson Welles was once asked to name his three favorite filmmakers; his much-quoted response: “I learned filmmaking by studying the Old Masters—and by that I mean John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford.” Please join ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching the masterpiece, My Darling Clementine.-



John Ford, who in his youth had known the real Wyatt Earp, claimed the way the OK Corral gunfight was staged in this film was the way it was explained to him by Earp himself, with a few exceptions. Ford met Earp through Harry Carey on a film set in the 1920s. John Ford was asked by Peter Bogdanovich, why he changed the historical details of the famous gunfight if, as he claimed, the real Wyatt Earp had told him all about it. "Did you like the film?" Ford asked, to which Bogdanovich replied it was one of his favorites. "What more do you want?" Ford snapped.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Merrie Melodies cartoon (featuring Yosemite Sam,) the 1951 Ballot Box Bunny, directed by Friz Freleng.



The original cartoon finished with Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam playing a game of Russian Roulette after they find out they both lost the election. This ending has been edited out in most airing of the cartoon, but has been restored in recent broadcasts of the title.

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 1945 poverty row classic film noir, Detour. It is the documentary film maker Errol Morris' favorite film. He said of it: "It has an unparalleled quality of despair, totally unrelieved by hope." Please join ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching noir classic, Detour.-



It is frequently reported that this film was shot only in one week. In truth, the shooting schedule was 28 days. The "one week" myth appears to be based on an off-hand remark by director Edgar G. Ulmer toward the end of his life.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon (featuring his nephew Clyde,) the 1951 His Hare-Raising Tale, directed by Friz Freleng.



The four clips from these cartoons all belonged to the pre-1948 AAP library, which was one of the reasons why this cartoon did not air as much as the other post-1948 cartoons on television until 1996 (where Time Warner and Turner had merged, allowing the pre-1948 and post-1948 cartoons to air together on television).

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 1945 film-noir classic, Mildred Pierce, the Oscar award winning comeback vehicle for Joan Crawford. At the time, it was a surprise that any studio wanted to touch the James M. Cain novel on which the film is based. Joseph I. Breen, of the Motion Picture Association of America, was vociferous in his rejection and told the studio “the story contains so many sordid and repellent elements that we feel the finished picture would not only be highly questionable from the standpoint of the Code, but would, likewise, meet with a great deal of difficulty in its release…” Somehow Warner Bros. succeeded in getting the material passed the censors and got the film made. Please join ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching noir classic, Mildred Pierce -



There were conflicts between Michael Curtiz and Joan Crawford. He wanted her canned, claiming she was altering the look and interpretation of the character to make her more glamorous. There were the inevitable arguments over shoulders, with Crawford tearfully (and not altogether truthfully) claiming her dowdy off-the-rack Sears dresses were unpadded. Curtiz started referring to her as "Phony Joanie" and "the rotten bitch," laying into her mercilessly in front of cast and crew. Crawford wanted the director fired and replaced "with a human being."

This is a Danish word with no direct translation, but it seems to mean something like that feeling when there are a few of you in a room playing board games at Christmas, and it's freezing cold outside and you can hear the drumming of bitter rain on the window, but it's warm and cozy in the room and there's an open fire roaring and you have mulled wine and biscuits and everyone's having a good time. It's a sort of combination of coziness and companionship and happiness and warmth, and it would be a lovely word to get into English.

August 1, 1981 -
MTV: Music Television went on the air for the first time on this date, with the words (spoken by one of MTV’s creators, John Lack): “Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll.” MTV went on to revolutionize the music industry and become an influential source of pop culture and entertainment in the United States and other parts of the world, including Europe, Asia and Latin America, which all have MTV-branded channels. Now, not so much. But why not sit back and relax (find the most comfortable seat) get a snack (smoke 'em if you got 'em,) and a beer or two and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching and listening to the first couple of hours of MTV -



The network brought success to such newcomers as Madonna and new wave icons Duran Duran, who used increasingly sophisticated techniques to make the visual elements of the video as important as the music. MTV also gave renewed life to veteran performers such as ZZ Top, Tina Turner, and Peter Gabriel, each of whom scored the biggest hits of their careers thanks to heavy rotation of their videos. By the mid-1980s, MTV had produced a noticeable effect on motion pictures, commercials, and television. It also changed the music industry; looking good (or at least interesting) on MTV became as important as sounding good when it came to selling recordings.
