Description: Here's the opening of the Family Classics presentation of Moby Dick [1956] on WGN Channel 9.
Hosted by Frazier Thomas.
Preceded by a WGN station ID bumper, the Cubs/Sox "baseball" variant (voiceover by Clif Mercer)
Previous to this we saw the opening of a 1985 airing of the same film on Family Classics, which sadly occurred a few weeks after Frazier Thomas passed away.
The Family Classics theme song was called "Moviescope" and was a piece of library music composed by Dennis Berry. It was originally released on the Berry/Conroy label.
This aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, March 15th 1981 at 3:00pm.
