Here is the opening few minutes of the movie "Rodan" on WGN Channel 9, presented as an untitled movie show.

Commercial break is cut out unfortunately (with just a snippet mentioning "Olympia Dodge"), but it does include another vintage WGN Station ID at the beginning - anyone know the voiceover announcer?
