Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1938 Porky and Daffy (co-starring Porky Pig,) directed by Bob Clampett.
The idea of an outside power turning someone into a crazy but skilled fighter has been also seen in several Three Stooges shorts, all involving Curly Howard.
Before our feature presention,The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching another heavyset, middle-aged man be amusing -
I think everyone really misses John
We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is Alfred Hitchcock's macabre film noir masterpiece, the amazing Vertigo, starring Jimmy Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes, Tom Helmore, and Henry Jones. Although it received a lukewarm reception upon its release, Vertigo is now commonly ranked among the greatest movies ever made. The film, by Hitchcock's own accounts, is his most personal picture, digging deep into what are said to have been some of the director's own darkest thoughts: obsessions with women, the desire to control them, and to mold them into a personal ideal. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching this deeply disturbing but brilliant film, Vertigo. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.
The costume designer and Hitchcock worked together to give Madeline's clothing an eerie appearance. Her trademark gray suit was chosen for its color because they thought it seemed odd for a blonde woman to be wearing all gray. Also, they added the black scarf to her white coat because of the odd contrast.
Demand Euphoria!
