The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (217)

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny cartoon, the 1955 Knight-mare Hare, directed by Chuck Jones.



Chuck Jones changed his screen credit from 'Charles M. Jones' to 'Chuck Jones' with this cartoon.


We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider for today's feature. Today's choice is the 1952 Akira Kurosawa classic, Ikiru (To Live) starring Takashi Shimura (who also played Professor Kyohei Yamane in the original Godzilla.) The screenplay was partly inspired by Leo Tolstoy's 1886 novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich. So push away from the table, get comfortable and please join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching Ikiru.



When Takashi Shimura rehearsed his singing of Song of the Gondola, director Akira Kurosawa instructed him to "sing the song as if you are a stranger in a world where nobody believes you exist." Gondola no Uta, (The Gondola Song,) was written in 1915, it is a song about women and how they should find love before their time has run out.

Lesson learned

The Carbuncles discovered the hard way not to believe everything they read.

Kurt Pratsch-Kaufmann

Graduating from the famous Parisian Cordon Bleu cooking school in 1951 (one of his classmates was the world renown Julia Child, with whom he worked with in the OSS,but that's another story...), Chef Pratsch-Kaufmann is the head dietitian of ACME Corp. He personally developed the line of ACME breakfast cereals come in a wide variety of flavors, including Pop Sniff & Sneezies and packaging, including Six Pac and King Size. Besides being a champion Chicken Whisperer, the Chef loves making wurst, maybe a little too much. Here we have a famous (some say infamous) photograph of Chef Pratsch-Kaufmann showing a stewardess from ACME Air how he likes to grind his own meats for his sausages. The exact whereabouts of the unfortunate Miss Bonaire have never been quite established.
