WGN Channel 9 - WGN Presents - "Mutiny On The Bounty" (Ending & Break, 1977)

Here's something pretty rare - the ending of a WGN Presents airing of "Mutiny on the Bounty" from 1977! You'll notice the graphics used here are the scrolling movie marquee version which we also saw in this example from 1980. I thought they were using an earlier version of the opening in 1977. Actually, I have an example from 1979 that uses the older version's "spotlight" motif with movie stars faces inside them. I guess all we can conclude is that they switched around the openings they would use on WGN Presents from time-to-time? Includes:
