The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (196)

A helpful hint from the MTA

Thank you for joining us today.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Merrie Melodies Bugs Bunny cartoon (featuring Elmer Fudd,) the 1953 Upswept Hare, directed by Robert McKimson.



Upswept Hare is one of the few cartoons in which Elmer Fudd comes out victorious against Bugs Bunny, and quite possibly the only time Bugs concedes defeat.


Before the start of our feature presentation, ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like to bring you another toad elevating moment -



But imagine how good it could be if everyone was in the same place??


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 Illuminati coding and Vigenère squares.

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's choice is the almost completely forgotten 1948 film made by master documentarian Robert J. Flaherty (co-written by his wife, Frances H. Flaherty.) This film not a documentary but is a work of film, commissioned and paid for by the Standard Oil Company. Virgil Thomson won the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his score to the film . So we would like you to relax (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack (perhaps, some pralines,) and a beverage and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this fine film, Louisiana Story.



After a screen test had been shot of Joseph Boudreaux, but before he had been chosen for the role of The Boy, his uncle gave him a "G.I."--i.e., very short crew cut haircut. The production had to delay shooting until his hair grew back.
