The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (185)

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 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").


Before the start of our feature presentation, ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is offering this moment to some teacher who wish to discuss the merits of virtual classrooms -



Student, may we chat, I'd show up to their classes if I were you.

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.
