Views: 8001

Now for some more neat old TV-44 footage!

Here is an excerpt of the ending to The 1 O'Clock Movie presentation of the animated "Gulliver's Travels" on WSNS. (cut-off, sadly) You can hear the same music as in the opening start to fade-up, and we see a flash of what the opening title looked like in color!

Unfortunately (we can always find something to complain about, can't we?) the person who recorded this 29 years ago (who at the time had no idea his recording...
