Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1959 Apes of Wrath , (starring Bugs Bunny) and directed by Friz Freleng.
Due to Daffy's brief cameo at the end, this short marks the first time Bugs lost to Daffy in the end. Daffy would defeat Bugs in the end again in a Tang commercial in the 1960s.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour staff was thinking about yesterday's posting about Pink Floyd's unprecedented 303rd week on the US album chart. Given that, we looked up what was another Easy Star All-Stars cover album to listen to - here is a good one.
Its a beautiful re-imagining of an incredible album. we believe Bowie would be proud.
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 1967 Brazilian Cinema Novo drama, Entranced Earth, (AKA Terra em Transe), directed by Glauber Rocha, and starring Jardel Filho, Paulo Autran, José Lewgoy, and Glauber Rocha. Initially this controversial file was banned from being shown in Brazil for "tarnishing the image of Brazil" but after protests by both Brazilian and French filmmakers, it was allowed to be screened at Cannes and in Brazil by the Brazilian government. It debuted in the 1967 Cannes Film Festival where it won the FIPRESCI Award. It also won the Golden Leopard award at the Locarno International Film Festival in 1968. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch Terra em Transe.
Eldorado is a fictional country. It's entirely based on political and social issues of Brazil after 1964 while the country was under a military dictatorship that was over only in 1985.
