Here's a promo for the 10-6-80 airing of The Star-Spangled Movie presentation of the 1966 film "Adventures of Captain Fabian" on WSNS TV-44. Previous to this we saw a few other glimpses of this bumper movie show - maybe it always aired at 3:30pm on weekdays? Could this help definitively date those other clips?

Ok, this one is really nuts. Here is the opening to what was a WLS Channel 7 Late Night Movie presentation of "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" - however, they screwed up and played the opening for the 3:30 Movie - but it's a different opening than we've seen so far!

Modelled after the updated graphics for The 3:00 Movie, it uses the same ...

Here is the opening few minutes of the movie "Rodan" on WGN Channel 9, presented as an untitled movie show.

Commercial break is cut out unfortunately (with just a snippet mentioning "Olympia Dodge"), but it does include another vintage WGN Station ID at the beginning - anyone know the voiceover announcer?

I left the first few minutes of the movie before the tape ran out, just for the heck of it. :-)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, Januar...

Here's the opening for the WLS Late Night Movie presentation of "A Woman Rebels".

Notice, the graphics are the "Swirling Stars" animation which is the same style as the WLS 3:30 Movie opening from the same era.

The graphics are very similar to the type used for the WFLD "Premiere Movie".
