Here's Part 1 of Midwest Sports Special - "Inside the World of Hockey with the Chicago Blackhawks," as aired on WBKB (now WLS) Channel 7. The host of this in-depth look at the team was Frank Sweeney. This was transferred from the original film, and thus has no commercials.
This part begins with the old-style academy leader which counted by feet rather than frames (as opposed to the more common SMPTE Universal film leader). The program itself begins with some shots of ...

Views: 1388
Looking for a job? Let Mr. Don Ferris help you, circa 1959. Make sure you wear your pressed white shirt and gray slacks when you show up for the interview. :-)
