Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1939 Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur, directed by Chuck Jones.
It was the first Daffy Duck cartoon to be directed by Chuck Jones. This cartoon premiered with Dark Victory.

The internet never blinks and never forgets
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 Jacques Tati's 1958 comedy Mon Oncle (My Uncle,) starring Jacques Tati, Jean-Pierre Zola, Adrienne Servantie and Alain Bécourt. This is Tati's first color film and Mon Oncle is halfway a silent film. Widely considered to be Jacques Tati's masterpiece, this film was also his most widely distributed and widely seen film, due in large part to its having won the Academy Award as Best Foreign Film. Besides being an apparent social commentary about the conflict between new and old, Mon Oncle is a delicately heartrending story about family bonds.The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching this charming comedy, Mon Oncle. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.
Having been awarded the Oscar for Best Foreign Film for this film, Jacques Tati was invited to a state reception where he was introduced to French President Charles de Gaulle. As a joke and as a reference to the film, Minister of Culture André Malraux introduced him as "mon oncle". De Gaulle, not realizing who the director was or what film he had made, congratulated him on having a talented nephew.
Demand Euphoria!
