Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Merrie Melodies Bugs Bunny cartoon, the 1963 Transylvania 6-5000, directed by Chuck Jones. This was the last original Bugs Bunny short Jones made for Warner Bros. Cartoons, before leaving the studio to work at MGM.
This is one of the few Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts which Mel Blanc isn't the only voice actor to be credited in the short.
Please join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching some deleted scenes from Star Wars featuring Cary Grant.
The amount of effect that went into this by it's creator, Fabrice Mathieu, is incredible.
We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's choice is the 1957 romantic confection, An Affair to Remember by Leo McCarey, (the film Meg Ryan's character obsesses about in Sleepless in Seattle,) which is a remake of his 1939 film, A Love Affair. The films stars Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Deborah Kerr plays Terry McKay, previously played by Irene Dunne in Love Affair. Both were directed by Leo McCarey. The year before this film was made, Kerr played Anna Leonowens in The King and I, also a role that had previously been played by Irene Dunne in the black-and-white classic Anna and the King of Siam. After you watch the film, you'll always think of An Affair to Remember when you see the Empire State Building in person. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching this classic, An Affair to Remember. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.
Cary Grant, who had started smoking in 1911, gave up his 3 pack a day cigarette habit during filming. Cary Grant's wife, Betsy Drake, had him visiting a hypnotist to help him quit smoking. She also packed him a hamper full of health food for his lunch, though he often finished it before starting filming because without cigarettes he was hungry all the time.
Before you go - once again, please keep Ukraine in your thoughts
I suspect this will become a collector's item, once it goes on sale.
Demand Euphoria!
