Views: 856

Here's some rare footage from another long-lost local movie show - "The Money Movie" on WSNS TV-44! The movie presented on this day was "China Gate".

They answered an easy preliminary questi...

Views: 4368

The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!

Some might wonder why...
