By at least June of 1987, WLS had changed over to their new computer generated open for "The Late Night Movie". I'm sure everyone would agree it was not as good as the old one - but then again, what is?

Here is a very quick excerpt of the opening for Movie Eleven on WTTW Channel 11 for a showing of "Metropolis". You can hear a snippet of the music and make out some kind of film reel in the background.

I believe this aired on local Chicago TV in 1977 or early 1978.
