The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (216)

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny cartoon, the 1955 Hyde and Hare, directed by Friz Freleng.



In the cartoon, Bugs sits down at a piano, places a candelabra upon it, and utters the phrase, "I wish my brother George was here". The reference was to Liberace, who had a brother named George that was also his conductor on TV. It also references Liberace's personal appearances during the 1950s. Liberace's feature film debut Sincerely Yours, also produced by Warner Bros., was released around the same time as this cartoon.


Before the start of our feature presentation, ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like wish everyone celebrating Passover this evening, Good Pesach -

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 1952 Roberto Rossellini's Europa 51 (The Greatest Love) starring, Ingrid Bergman, Alexander Knox, and Giulietta Masina. Rossellini cited this profound spiritual saga — (which was heavily censored in Italy, at the time, for its political content ) — as his personal favorite among his films. This was his and Bergman’s second collaboration (the first being Stromboli); a modern-day, female-driven retelling of the life of Saint Francis. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching Europa 51. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.

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 1951 sci-fi classic, The Day The Earth Stood Still, directed by Roberrt Wise, starring Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, and Sam Jaffe. The movie explores Cold War and Atomic Age paranoia from an extraterrestrial angle. The film's bold anti-war theme, still seems relevant, since the world still hasn’t learned the lessons the film sought to teach.

Bernard Herrmann's memorable score was many all the more creepy by his groundbreaking use of the Theremin. The theremin is basically a box with two antennas. The vertical one controls the pitch of the note, and the horizontal one controls the volume. Herrmann’s use of the theremin was copied by other film composers, and the instrument has been associated with science-fiction and thriller movies ever since. So we would like you to relax (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack (perhaps, some popcorn,) and a beverage (a can of Coke,) and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this still surprisingly scary film, The Day The Earth Stood Still.



Lock Martin, the doorman at Grauman's Chinese Theater, was cast because of his nearly seven-foot height. However, he was not a physically strong man and could not actually carry Patricia Neal, and so had to be aided by wires (in shots from the back where he's carrying her, it's actually a lightweight dummy in his arms). He also had difficulty with the heavy Gort suit and could only stay in it for about a half hour at a time.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny cartoon, the 1955 Rabbit Rampage (with a cameo by Elmer Fudd,) directed by Chuck Jones.



This short's plot is similar to Duck Amuck which both involves a character being annoyed by an animator. Bugs breaks the fourth wall in this cartoon much the same way that Daffy did in Duck Amuck, though, unlike Daffy, Bugs seems to know who's the animator in the short. This is one of three cartoons Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd appear in where Elmer gets the upper hand at the end.

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 another Ealing Studio film, the 1951 comedy, The Lavender Hill Mob, directed by Charles Crichton, starring Alec Guinness and Stanley Holloway. For once, the film was considered a success when released and has been recognized as one of the best British comedies ever made. Former policeman Tibby Clarke won an Oscar for his screenplay. He consulted the Bank of England on the project and it set up a special committee to advise on how best the robbery could take place. In 1995 the Vatican recognized the film as one of 15 films that rise to the level of 'art'.

The Lavender Hill Mob was shot on location in postwar London, and you can still see the damage. Rationing was still in effect in 1951, and the smog hung heavy over the city. (Keep your eyes open for a walk-on early in the film by then-unknown Audrey Hepburn.) So we would like you to relax (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack (perhaps, some crisps,) and a beverage (a can of lager,) and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this very funny film, The Lavender Hill Mob.



During the filming of the scene where Holland and Pendlebury are pursuing the Eiffel tower paper weights in Paris, Alec Guinness and Stanley Holloway both nearly fell off the real Eiffel tower. Guinness recalled his memoirs. “Rehearsing a scene in which Stanley (Holloway) and I were required to escape from the top of the Eiffel Tower, [Crichton] said, ‘Alec, there is a trap door over there - where it says “Workmen Only” - I'd like you to run to it, open it and start running down the spiral staircase. Stanley will follow.’ So I did as asked. A very dizzying sight to the ground greeted me. But I completed half a spiral before I noticed that three feet in front of me the steps suddenly ceased - broken off. I sat down promptly where I was and cautiously started to shift myself back to the top, warning Stanley to get out of the way. ‘What the hell are you doing?’ the director yelled. ‘Down! Further down!!’ ‘Further down is eternity,’ I called back. Apparently, no one on the production had checked up on the staircase."

Look for it - Sign above the entrance gate to the sanitarium reads - "Fruitcake Sanitarium - It's full of nuts".


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 Elia Kazan's 1951 drama, based on the Tennessee Williams Pulitzer Prize play, A Streetcar Named Desire, starring Marlon Brando, Vivian Leigh and Kim Stanley. Streetcar was initially considered controversial, decadent, and "morally repugnant" challenged the regulatory Production Code's censors (and the Legion of Decency) with its bold adult drama and sexual subjects (insanity, rape, domestic violence, homosexuality, sexual obsession, and female sexuality). The film signaled the weakening of Hollywood censorship (and groups such as the Catholic Legion of Decency), although a number of scenes were excised, and new dialogue was written. And the Production Code insisted that Stanley be punished for the rape by the loss of his wife's love at the film's conclusion.

In 1993, approximately five minutes of the censored scenes (i.e., specific references to Blanche's homosexual - or bisexual young husband, her nymphomania, and Stanley's rape of Blanche) were restored in an 'original director's version' video re-release. So we would like you to relax (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack (perhaps, some grilled sausages,) and a beverage (a beer,) and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this dark film, A Streetcar Named Desire



Nine members of the original Broadway cast (Marlon Brando, Kim Hunter, Karl Malden, Rudy Bond, Nick Dennis, Peg Hillias, Richard Garrick, Ann Dere and Edna Thomas) repeated their roles in the film, a highly unusual decision at the time and even today, when original casts of plays are often completely replaced for the film versions. However, Vivien Leigh, was selected to play Blanche DuBois over Jessica Tandy to add "star power" to the picture (Marlon Brando had not yet achieved full stardom in films; he would be billed under Leigh in the film's credits).



We could not go without seeing the hysterical parody of Streetcar Named Desire in the film Sleeper. Diane Keaton had just costarred with Marlon Brando in The Godfather in the previous year.
