Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1966 Daffy Rents, {co-starring Speedy Gonzales) directed by Robert McKimson.
The title is a spoof on the company Abbey Rents, which specialized in home health care and party supply rentals.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to share with you a snippet of Margaret Cho's special, PsyCHO:
Margaret is always good for a laugh or two.
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 mystery thriller, The Bird With The Crystal Plumage, directed by Dario Argento, and starring Tony Musante, Suzy Kendall, Enrico Maria Salerno, Eva Renzi, Umberto Raho and Mario Adorf. The film was Dario Argento's debut and launched Argento's career as a filmmaker. The Bird With The Crystal Plumage has been credited as a significant milestone in the popularization of the giallo genre - characterized as gruesome murder-mystery thrillers that combine the suspense elements of detective fiction with scenes of shocking horror, featuring excessive bloodletting, stylish camerawork, and often jarring musical arrangements. So push away from the table, get comfortable and join us in watching The Bird With The Crystal Plumage.
It has been alleged that Tony Musante - known for his intensity and preparedness as an actor - would frequently show up at Dario Argento's apartment at 3 am to discuss characterization, much to Argento's annoyance.
