Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny cartoon (featuring Witch Hazel in her debut,) the 1954 Bewitched Bunny, directed by Chuck Jones.
The spices in Witch Hazel's spice rack are: Bee stingers with chutney, Worm sweat residue, Centipede bunions with chive, and Pickled tarantula elbows.
Before the start of our feature presentation, ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like you to watch these grown people act very silly and make fun of our feature presentation -
Gloria Swanson has praised Carol Burnett for the character.
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 Billy Wilder's caustic, black-hearted film-noir masterpiece, the 1950 Sunset Boulevard. The film stars Gloria Swanson, William Holden, Erich von Stroheim, and Nancy Olson. The film's over seventy-years-old, which is itself obsessed with the past, feels remarkably fresh and pertinent today. So we would like you to relax (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack (perhaps, some canapes,) and a beverage (a highball or two,) and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this classic film, Sunset Boulevard.
Paramount was more than happy to be the subject of the film, and didn't ask for the studio to be disguised. In fact, such was the buzz about the film during production that the viewing of the daily rushes became one of the hottest tickets on the lot.
Demand Euphoria!
