from the great sale on reconditioned color tvs to early early video systems this is the best hour and 48 min i have seen in 5 years! oh this movie is haunting and just the fun of these vintage commercials are too much! i had forgotton how great a deal those tvs were from "fine" motels haaaa thank you thank you for such a wonderful video!!
A classic movie, and quite metaphysical one too. The Meditations segment was good listening, and the static after station sign off reminded me of The Outer Limits TV series. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I really really really wish that the local networks go back to showing late night movies, especially movies between the silent era to the end of the golden era😃Can you upload a movie 🎥 with the WBBM ch 2 Late show movie bumper from the mid 80s😃😃😃😃😃
Home video and streaming services, killed the anticipation of finally getting to watch your favorite movie that you haven't seen since it's last airing or since it was in the theaters. I kind of miss those days, scanning the TV Guide and finding out your favorite movie is going to be on Television, you would wait all week and let everyone know in the house, that your movie is coming on, and no one else touch the TV that night! We had a TV that literally took a long time to warm up before a picture would come on, so you would have to turn on the TV 30 minutes early and just stare at a blank screen and get so excited when the picture would finally come on, THE GOOD OLD DAYS!
Well, it wasn't so much the networks, it was the local affiliate stations, and much more the independent stations. long before they became FOX and THE CW, that would play the great old movies. Local indepedents (as such) don't really exist anymore, sadly.
Fun fact: According to Wikipedia, future First Lady Nancy Reagan has an uncredited appearance as a teenager in the movie (the very final scene at the museum?).
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV Only the sign-off sequence was up on your website but not on UA-cam. Nor of course was the entire Movie 5 and ads that transpired along with it. We all never could id the staffer reading the sign-off script either.
I never saw it that way. They always used the same "Cinema 4" opening through the early '80s. But later bumpers featured the instrumental music bed a chorus sang over in 1979-'81 promos {"🎶NBC- Proud As A *PEACOCK* !!! 🎶"}. I think it was a last ditch effort by Fred Silverman to promote the network locally before he resigned in June 1981.
The 'Movie 5' and 'Saturday Night Movie' graphics were generally the 'house' style of NBC stations; also used on WNBC Channel 4 in New York for 'Cinema 4' starting around 1977-78 (which replaced older titles such as "Movie 4," "The Great Great Show" and "Sunday Night Movie"). Can anyone vouch as to whether that was used by WRC Channel 4 in Washington, DC and/or KNBC Channel 4 in Los Angeles, and also what were the movie skeins of WKYC Channel 3 in Cleveland that could have used that graphics package? Around this period, this same film was run on occasion in NYC by WPIX Channel 11 on such movie shows as "12:30 Star Movie" and "The Channel 11 Film Festival." One night in 1980 ran this on a Saturday at 8:30 P.M. which was usually when their horror skein, "Chiller," ran.

This seal of the Television Code Review Board of the National Association of Broadcasters is a symbol of good television. To see better television, always watch channel 33, a Television Code station."

This was a great watch, well acted, good pace and music. The last scene wow, doesn't get any better.
Thanks for the Shelley Long verification
The station used this opening into the late 1980s. I recorded an Eastside Kids film on a Saturday afternoon around 1987 with this open.
Love the full uploads.
thanks for posting

I see after all these years I finally found out what had aired before this sign-off that you previously had posted on your website!
I forgot - are you sure I had posted this one?
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV Only the sign-off sequence was up on your website but not on UA-cam. Nor of course was the entire Movie 5 and ads that transpired along with it. We all never could id the staffer reading the sign-off script either.
Ah - ok I found it now. Funny, I forgot I had just the sign-off posted before.
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV - That factor was why the individual clip as posted on YT wasn't linked, I suspect.
The movie opening is a combination of NBC'S Late Night Movie intro from the early 1980s mixed with the local "Movie 5" intro at the end.
'NBC LATE NIGHT MOVIE" {1979-'84 opening title}.
WNBC-TV (channel 4) in NYC would’ve used this intro combing with the intro to “NBC Late Night Movie” and the intro itself where it became “Cinema 4”.

They have used the “Movie 5” name since the days of WNBQ-TV.

Quick, somebody slow down the National Anthem to see if there are any subliminal messages!
If you run it backwards, you can faintly hear, "Floyd Kalber is the antichrist!!!" ;)
