Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1949 Holiday for Drumsticks, directed by Arthur Davis.
The mountain dwelling couple are likely modeled after Ma and Pa Kettle, who starred in the film of the same name that was released the same year.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour watched this interesting video by Noah Lefevre of Polyphonic about an overview of the concept album and wanted to share it with you -
Beore you go down a rabbit hole of your favorite concept albums, read the comments about other peoples favorite albums not mentions in the video.
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 1963 drama, An Actor's Revenge, (Yukinojo henge) directed by Kon Ichikawa, and starring Kazuo Hasegawa, and Fujiko Yamamoto. The film is based on a novel by Otokichi Mikami, which had been adapted several times before. This was the second time Kazuo Hasegawa had appeared in an adaptation of the work, the first begin in 1935. The film is visual stunning, moving seamlessly between the artifice of the Kabuki theatre and real life. As always, The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching An Actor's Revenge. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.
An Actor's Revenge is a tribute to Kazuo Hasegawa, whose 300th film this was.
Demand Euphoria!
