WBBM Channel 2 - The All-Electric Magik Lantern Moving Picture Show - "The Rose Tattoo" (Opening, 1979)

Finally! Here's the (mostly complete) opening for The All-Electric Magik Lantern Moving Picture Show on WBBM Channel 2. This showcase ran on early Monday mornings starting in September 1971 and lasted until September 27th 1982, replaced (as were the Tuesday through Friday morning airings of The Late Show) by CBS News Nightwatch (predecessor to today's Up to the Minute). Any word on what was the synth-heavy theme for this memorable movie umbrella would be appreciated.

Towards the end of this clip, a voiceover (by Bob Carrington) describing the plot of the upcoming movie to be shown - "The Rose Tattoo" (1955) starring Anna Magnani and Burt Lancaster - when the tape cuts out.

This aired on local Chicago TV early Monday, October 29th 1979 at 2:20am.
