WLS Channel 7 - The 3:30 Movie - "Pocketful of Miracles" (Promo, 1974?)

Views: 1292

Here's a promo for the upcoming 3:30 Movie presentation of the 1961 film "Pocketful of Miracles" starring Glenn Ford and Bette Davis, preserved on 16mm film. This was most likely for the two-part airing to be shown on February 7th and 8th 1974, as the typesetting for the title (set in a font called Frankfurter) was different than that on this 1972 promo.

Technical / Modification Note: This ...

WLS Channel 7 - The 3:30 Movie - "Jason And The Argonauts" (Opening, 1978)

Views: 8872

Well, here it is - the opening to The 3:30 Movie on WLS Channel 7!! The movie was "Jason and the Argonauts" - unfortunately the beginning of the film cuts off the last couple seconds of the theme song - which you can hear in the bumpers, which I will post.

Funny, but I've seen these graphics elsewhere - they were also used for the same era's The Late Movie on WLS - except of course for the title change, everything else was the same - same swirling star graphics, ...

Here's only the second commercial for Dispensa's Castle of Toys that we've ever found!

Same great session music (oh, to have the original tapes of this - maybe it was done by the same people who did the Super Cartoon Sunrise theme) - this one has less creepy Santa though.

Dispensa's Castle of Toys was located in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois on Route 83 and Roosevelt Road.
