Conrad was so short he had lifts inside his cowboy boots which had 3" heels. This shot him up to a 5' 9". In some scenes he stood on a box, like Alan Ladd did. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

That was a huge deal at the time. The studios released recent feature films to be shown on TV. This has never been done before. It was family night favorite in our house. We cooked up a ton of popcorn and watched most of these movies. In black and white no less. What a different time that was. Here's the movies from the first 3 seasons. None of them had ever been on TV before. 23/1961 How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall 2 hours 2 9/30/1961 The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952) Gregory Peck, Susan Hayward, Ava Gardner 2 hours, 20 minutes 3 10/07/1961 Titanic (1953) Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Wagner 2 hours 4 10/14/1961 Garden of Evil (1954) Gary Cooper, Susan Hayward, Richard Widmark 2 hours 5 10/21/1961 The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel (1951) James Mason, Cedric Hardwicke, Jessica Tandy 2 hours 6 10/28/1961 There's No Business Like Show Business (1954) Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Marilyn Monroe 2 hours, 25 minutes 7 11/04/1961 Soldier of Fortune (1955) Clark Gable, Susan Hayward, Michael Rennie 2 hours 8 11/11/1961 Halls of Montezuma (1951) Richard Widmark, Jack Palance, Robert Wagner 2 hours, 20 minutes 9 11/18/1961 Demetrius and the Gladiators (1954) Victor Mature, Susan Hayward, Michael Rennie 2 hours 10 11/25/1961 Dreamboat (1952) Clifton Webb, Ginger Rogers, Anne Francis 2 hours 11 12/02/1961 Broken Arrow (1950) James Stewart, Jeff Chandler, Debra Paget 2 hours 12 12/09/1961 Man on a Tightrope (1953) Fredric March, Terry Moore, Gloria Grahame 2 hours 13 12/16/1961 Destination Gobi (1953) Richard Widmark, Don Taylor, Max Showalter 2 hours 14 12/23/1961 O.

Season 3 The third season (1963-1964) began on September 21, 1963. For the third season in a row, the network opened its Saturday night movie series with a Marilyn Monroe-starring film, 1955's The Seven Year Itch. By this time, NBC had added a second movie night, Monday, to its prime-time schedule. A new package of films were acquired at a cost of $14 million to the network consisting of 42 titles from 20th Century Fox, as well as 35 post 1950 films from MGM to fill both nights. For the most part, heavy dramatic films, such as The Diary of Anne Frank (1959 film) were chosen for season three of Saturday Night At The Movies, while lighter fare, such as comedies and musicals were reserved for the new Monday Night series.

I remember the movie of the week being big even in the 70s. Biggest problem was they jammed the commercials. Who remembers how they had a "bump" after the commercials saying "Back to the show" usually with cuts of a movie camera and things. They would run like 4-5 commercials and you thought you were done because they showed the bump, but that was a "warning bump" saying they would be back "soon" and you had 1 more commercial to deal with. The President is a fink. |
