Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1956 Broom-Stick Bunny (featuring Witch Hazel), directed by Chuck Jones.
The short is notable for being June Foray's first project for Warner Bros., which led to her voicing other Looney Tunes characters such as Granny, as well as her first time working with Jones, who she continued to collaborate with after Warners' closed their animation department.
Before the start of our feature presentation, ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like you to join them in watching this short film about how a 71 year old man spends his days during quaratine -
Won't you please join Peter in getting your vaccination.
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 1953 film The Golden Coach (Le Carrosse d'or), Jean Renoir beautiful tribute to the theatre and acting, statrring Anna Magnani, Odoardo Spadaro and Duncan Lamont. The exact opposite of Neo-Realism, Renior's glories in the bright colored artifice of this Technicolor confection. As with almost all her performances, Magani is a force of nature, here beautifully commenting of the nature of being a performer. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching The Golden Coach. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.
Jean Renoir actually made three versions of this film simultaneously, with dialogue in English, French and Italian respectively. He claimed he liked the English-language version best.
Demand Euphoria!
