ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour Today (351)
Thank you for joining us today
Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a classic Daffy Duck Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1955 Beanstalk Bunny, (co-starring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd,) and directed by Chuck Jones.
Daffy and Bugs acknowledge the original fairy tale as each breaks the fourth wall. Elmer refers to a poker game as he first breaks the fourth wall, as in opening with a pair of Jacks.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour has been checking out the very funny website, Letters Live, (where actors read actual letters from famous and not so famous people.) We stumbled upon this one, so lets watch it -
Jude Law has to get back into the public's eye and I wonder how many people know who Fred Allen was?.
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 1965 huge musical hit The Sound of Music, directed by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, Richard Haydn, Peggy Wood, Charmian Carr, and Eleanor Parker. The film was a phenomenal hit, by November 1966, The Sound of Music had become the highest-grossing film of all-time - surpassing Gone with the Wind - and held that distinction for five years. For better or for worse, The Sound of Music became the most popular movie musical of all time, copping five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and becoming an enduring hallmark of wholesome family entertainment, though it remains a film in which form triumphs over substance. The true story of the Von Trapps was far less dramatic than what is depicted in the musical: in real life Maria Von Trapp was a difficult woman who had sprung from a troubled childhood, the Captain was neither domineering nor reluctant for his children to embark on a singing career, and the family calmly left Salzburg by train, rather than dramatically escaping the Nazis in the nick of time by hiking over the alps. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch The Sound of Music.
Christopher Plummer intensely disliked working on this movie. He was known to refer to it as The Sound of Mucus or S&M and likened working with Julie Andrews to "being hit over the head with a big Valentine's Day card, every day." Nonetheless, he and Andrews remained close friends until his death. Andrews claimed that Plummer's cynicism probably helped his performance and this movie, keeping it from being too sentimental.

ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour Today (350)
Thank you for joining us today
Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a classic Daffy Duck Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1954 My Little Duckaroo, (co-starring Porky Pig,) and directed by Chuck Jones.
This cartoon in many ways resembles the 1951 short directed by Chuck Jones entitled Drip-Along Daffy. In that animated piece, upon seeing a wanted poster with a reward of $10,000.00 for the dead or alive capture of Nasty Canasta, Daffy sets out alongside his companion Porky, and his trusty steed to retrieve the villain and collect on the money.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is very amused by my past life as a young man at a specialized school. My Art teacher is now a video blogger sharing classic Italian recipes. so, lets watch one -
Besides explaining why it was not unusual that Michelangelo's David had a small circumcised penis, she was totally into Queen and let us play their music during class.
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 1965 documentary The Battle of Algiers, (La Batalla de Argel), directed by Gillo Pontecorvo. Given what's going on in the world today, the film is seen by some as a textbook for 60s revolutionaries (but with a surprising even-handedness), The Battle of Algiers now feels like it's been ripped from today's headlines. The director, Gillo Pontecorvo worked as a foreign correspondent in Paris, as an assistant to Yves Allegret. Rather than get myself in trouble by commenting on the film, please just watch it with an open mind. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch The Battle of Algiers.
Director Gillo Pontecorvo and composer Ennio Morricone had regular disagreements over the movie's score. At one point, Pontecorvo had a melody stuck in his mind which he desperately wanted as a theme in the movie. He went to Morricone's apartment to play it for him, and hummed the tune all the way up to the top floor. Then Morricone asked him to wait with the tune, since he had conceived a melody of his own. To Pontecorvo's surprise, the tune was exactly the same as the one he had in mind, and he was delighted to find out that after all those months of struggling, they had finally found something, separate from each other, on which they could agree. It wasn't until months later at the Venice film festival that Morricone admitted that he had pulled a prank on him; he had already heard Pontecorvo humming the song while coming up the stairs, and decided to pretend he had come up with the same melody himself.

ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour Today (349)
Thank you for joining us today
Before our feature presentation, The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to start the evening with the Daffy Duck Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1954 Quack Shot, (co-starring Elmer Fudd,) and directed by Robert McKimsom.
Elmer has the latest thermos and cooler: mid-century necessities in the days before easily portable beverages.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour do not like pumpkin spice per se, but let's hear from Puddles Pity Party on the topic:
We love Puddles but no, we still hate pumpkin spice.
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 1965 comedy Juliet of the Spirits, (Giuletta Degli Spiriti), Federico Fellini's love letter to his wife, starring Giulietta Masina, Sandra Milo, Mario Pisu, Valentina Cortese, and Valeska Gert. The film was Fellini's first feature-length color film. The film received mixed reviews when it first opened but has grown in critics appreciation. Federico Fellini deliberately conceived of Juliet of the Spirits, as the counterpoint of 8 1/2. In this film, however, the narrative is the wife's rather than the unfaithful husband's point of view. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch Juliet of the Spirits.
(We must take this with a grain of salt,) Federico Fellini claimed he took LSD in preparation for making this film.

Thank you for joining us today
Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the Daffy Duck Looney Tunes cartoon, the iconic 1954 Design For Leaving,, (co-starring Elmer Fudd, ) and directed by Robert McKimson.
Daffy reprises a salesman role that he previously played in Daffy Dilly, The Stupor Salesman and Fool Coverage.
Before the start of our feature presentation, you know how we here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour love a good supercut. We saw this over on Laughing Squid's site and had to STOP to watch it.
It's from the site Todd in the Shadows.
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 1965 documentary The Tokyo Olympiad, directed by Kon Ichikawa. The film is held in very high critical regard - it is considered one of the best sports documentary and is seen, alongside Leni Riefenstahl's Olympia, as one of the best films about the Olympics. Ichikawa's film was considered a cinematographic milestone in documentary filmmaking. However, Tokyo Olympiad keeps its focus far more on the atmosphere of the games and the human side of the athletes rather than concentrating on winning and the results. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch The Tokyo Olympiad.
The Olympic Organizing Board was looking for a commercial representation of the Olympics, including glorifying winners and the Japanese contestants, and was disappointed with the film, which humanized the games instead. The uncut version was subsequently never publicly screened.
