Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1940 Porky's Last Stand , (co-starring Porky Pig,) directed by Bob Clampett.
The song Start the Day Right from this cartoon, would be partially sung again by Porky in Porky's Cafe, heard as an underscore for the title card music of Dog Gone South, and later sung by Bugs Bunny in To Hare Is Human.
Before the start of our feature presentation, ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like you to know that sometimes we don't like checking out all those dark recesses of the intraweb either
Perhaps you may want to put off eating for a day or two
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 the 1959 Western, Ride Lonesome, directed by Budd Boetticher and starring Randolph Scott, Karen Steele, Pernell Roberts, Lee Van Cleef, and James Coburn (in his screen debut). When Ride Lonesome first premiered, it was considered a B western. The film is now considered a classic (a favorite of Martin Scorsese.) Ride Lonesome is one of the best of the many films that Randolph Scott made with director Budd Boetticher. The film takes a serious look at frontier justice and suggests that maybe black-and-white morality isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching this taut western, Ride Lonesome. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.
All of the following would later star or guest star in Bonanza: Karen Steele, Pernell Roberts, James Best, Lee Van Cleef, and James Coburn. An anachronistic point you will not be able to unsee - The "pointy bra" Karen Steele wears throughout the movie was not invented yet, and was the fashion in the late 1950s.
Demand Euphoria!
