Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1956 Deduce, You Say, (co-starring Porky Pig,) and directed by Chuck Jones.
Inside Henry the Eighth’s Fifth pub, there is a sign on the wall advertising SELZER’S WATER (seltzer water). Eddie Selzer was the producer on this cartoon.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour was very tickled pink to watch Hermione making cocktails-
We might even try some of the cocktails that she made.
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 1966 iconic Spaghetti Western, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, (aka Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo,) directed by Sergio Leone, starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was marketed as the third and final installment in the Dollars Trilogy, following A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. The film was a financial success, grossing over $38 million at the worldwide box office, and is credited with having catapulted Eastwood into stardom. The term 'Spaghetti Western' originated in the 1960s, when it was cheaper to make movies in Italy than the United States. Moviemakers made their westerns there and had English dubbed in for the Italian actors. Ironically. many of them were actually filmed in Spain, so they probably should have been referred to as Paella Westerns. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Ennio Morricone's iconic theme music was designed in places to mimic the sound of a howling coyote. Originally, Morricone did not want to use the trumpet but Leone insisted. Along with the electric and acoustic guitars, and the "tarzan yell", the trumpet became the most distinctive part of the soundtrack.
