Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Looney Tunes classic cartoon, the 1943 Porky Pig's Feat , (co-starring, of course, Porky, with a special appearance of Bugs Bunny,) directed by Frank Tashlin.
This is the first Daffy Duck short to be directed by Frank Tashlin. This is also the first time Bugs appears in a Frank Tashlin directed cartoon. This cartoon is the final black and white appearance of Porky Pig and a main character.
Before the start of our feature presentation, ACME would like to listen, with you, our favorite 7-foot tall singing clown -
Hopefully Puddles Pity Party will put out a new video soon.
A big no thank you.
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 1960 South Korean melodrama The Housemaid (Hanyeo) directed by Kim Ki-young, starring Lee Eun-shim, Ju Jeung-nyeo, and Kim Jin-kyu. Often considered one of the greatest films from South Korea, the film is basically unknown except by world cinephiles. The film was actually thought to be lost forever as about 20 minutes of the middle section of the film were missing. In 1997, the reels were found but it took an additional ten years for the restoration to be completed. The newly stored film premiered at Cannes in 2008 to great reception. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching this disturbing work, The Housemaid. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film. (Remember to turn the closed captioning on for English subtitles.
The film was suppose to finish around 1:48:13. However, the shocking finale was considered to be too extreme for the public at the time. The abrupt tacked on epilogue was added in post-production, after some initial screenings.
Demand Euphoria!
