Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny cartoon, (featuring Yosemite Sam and Porky Pig,) the 1964 Dumb Patrol, directed by Gerry Chiniquy (a director of Friz Freleng's unit team). This was the last appearance Yosemite Sam and final time Porky Pig appears without Daffy Duck.
Though both Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig appear in the same short, unlike A Corny Concerto the two do not appear onscreen at the same time in this short; Porky only appears in a mere cameo at the beginning of this short, only to be quickly replaced by Bugs. This is the only time Porky Pig and Yosemite Sam appear in the same short, although the two do not appear onscreen at the same time
The staff ofThe ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour travels deep into the nether regions of the intraweb to bring you things you don't normally see. Today please join us in watching a rubber chicken sing the theme song to Godzilla.
We're not sure why this exists; it just does.
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 Sidney Lumet's 1957 courtroom drama, 12 Angry Men, starring Henry Fonda (who also produced the film with Reginald Rose), Lee J. Cobb, Ed Begley, E.G. Marshall, and Jack Warden. 12 Angry Men marked Sidney Lumet's directing debut. The story first existed as a teleplay on Studio One in 1954, two of the jurors, Joseph Sweeney, and George Voskovec reprised their roles for the film. The original television production was directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, who later won an Oscar for directing Patton. Aside from an opening montage inside the courthouse, the Judge's instructions to the jury and the final scene of the film, all of the action takes place within the confines of the Jury Room. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching this classic, 12 Angry Men. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.
Only two jurors are ever identified by name throughout the film: Juror #8, named Mr. Davis, and Juror #9, named Mr. McCardle. All but two are identified by job or profession: Juror #1, called "High School Football Coach", Juror #2, called "Bank Teller", Juror #3, called "Beck & Call" and "Owns Messenger Service", Juror #4, called "Stock Broker", Juror #6, called "Painter", Juror #7, called "Salesman", Juror #8, called "Architect", Juror #10, called "Garage Owner", Juror #11, called "Watch Maker", and Juror #12, called "Advertising Exec".
