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.
Demand Euphoria!
