Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1966 Mexican Mousepiece, {co-starring Speedy Gonzales) directed by Robert McKimson.
When the short was shown in The Bugs Bunny Show, the title was changed to Mexican Mouse Piece.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to share with you a brief interview with Fran Leborwitz:
The world is always a bit brighter when we get to wait a clip of Fran.
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 1970 western comedy, Little Big Man , directed by Arthur Penn, and starring Dustin Hoffman, Chief Dan George, Faye Dunaway, Martin Balsam, Jeff Corey and Richard Mulligan. The film opened to both critical acclaim and commercial success. Chief Dan George received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, the first Indigenous North American actor to be nominated for an Oscar. It was among AFI's 400 movies nominated to be on their list of America's greatest 100 movies. So push away from the table, get comfortable and join us in watching Little Big Man.
The role of Old Lodge Skins was initially offered to Marlon Brando, who turned it down. Other sources claim Arthur Penn's first choice for the role was Sir Laurence Olivier. When that didn't work out, Richard Boone was slated for the role. When Boone backed out at the last minute, Chief Dan George was given the part and earned an Oscar nomination
