Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1956 The High and the Flighty, (co-starring Forhorn Leghorn and Barnyard Dawg,) and directed by Robert McKimson.
This is one of the few shorts in which Barnyard Dawg gets along with Foghorn Leghorn.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour stumbled upon another Christmas carol I bet you've never heard - so lets watch it - - -
You might be wondering why Bing had these guys on his show. You may not know that Bing was the producer of Hogan's Heroes.
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 classic Polish film, The Saragossa Manuscript/i>, directed by Wojciech Has. Set during the Napoleonic wars, the film follows the exploits of Alfons von Worden, an officer traveling through the sierra Mountains and with each passing traveler, the interweaving stories grow stranger. The film was a relative success in Poland and other parts of socialist eastern Europe upon its release. This surrealist cult epic has attracted support from Luis Buñuel, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and even Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch The Saragossa Manuscript
A 125-minute edited version of Has’s work is what was originally released theatrically in America and elsewhere. Jerry Garcia, a longtime aficionado of The Saragossa Manuscript, financed efforts by the Pacific Film Archive to track down and preserve a full print of the film during the 1990s. After Garcia’s death, Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola financed the digital restoration of the uncut version of the film, a task achieved by gaining access to the last known original print of the movie in its full form, a copy owned by Has himself.
