MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE

This is how I remember Channel 9's MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE beginning back around 1960. They later used film footage of Times Square to open the show, but the rising clapper board made an imprint on my impressionable young mind. My favorite MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE presentation was "The Jolson Story". And remember, "if you missed any portion of today's movie or wish to see it again, the next presentation will be..." Same movie - eight times a week!

WOR TV had the best bumpers and intros... Always gave me a cozy and relaxing feeling growing up in the Bronx back in the seventies and eighties... GOOD MEMORIES!!!

@CarlDuke 2 года назад

Great post. This is just how I recall it with the movie clapboard and the Gone With the Wind theme song.

@rkmope56 3 года назад

The clapboard appeared in the 1950s on WOR. When King Kong premiered in March 1956, the clapboard was replaced by Kong standing over Manhattan. I was a kid, but I remember it well. It was accompanied by a battery of sponsors read off by the announcer. HO Oatmeal was one of the products.

good memory All I recall is the clapboard. I watched Room Service innumerable times.

How I remember this so well!! So great to see! BEFORE CABLE TV took hold of our lives! So 1970s NYC! A Different time and place.....I LOVE it, but also makes me feel sad. It reminds me of so many people no longer with us. For me it was a simpler time in life. Way to much crap today! Very true, not a whole lot to choose from back then BUT YES! less was much more!! GREAT memory..............

I remember that Million Dollar Movie opening. This was before they changed it to the one showing scenes of NYC. I remember the chalk board thing, only in B&W!

@ChelseaRialtoStudios 5 лет назад

Yeah, the clapper board! MEMORIES! :)

@johngruen5274 5 лет назад

Yes, I remember the B & W. So much better, so REAL. And I feel like I could recite King Kong and A Christmas Carol word for word.

This version of Taras Theam is from the early to mid 60s showing of MDM....(which cant be found anywhere on RU-vid) the one with the guy making change at the paper stand.the phone off the hook..and the guy going down the escalator....the later version of taras theam was played at a faster pace

That's the one I'm looking for too!

@mycolortv1 4 года назад

@njpete987 4 года назад

You're right. I remember that very well. Is it just me or do others also feel a strong feeling of melancholy when watching the MDM opening?

@davidw5919 3 месяца назад

I've been looking for that one for years and can't find it. In my opinion it's much better than the 1970s one. It was kind of haunting and mysterious. A time machine to my 10 year old self.

@rkmope56 3 года назад

The clapboard opening here might be a recreation of the original. The Tara's Theme used here is also incorrect as I remember it. It was more like the version used for the Times Square opening.

@ChelseaRialtoStudios 3 года назад

Yes, this is a recreation I put together. The recording used for the Times Square opening was probably recorded around the time of the 1967 reissue. I think I used Max's 1954 RCA recording for this recreation.

Hi Barry. I have noted over the past several years, through your comments on vintage TV related videos, that you are extremely knowledgeable on the subject. I didn't know who else to ask, so...Do you know if the 60s-1972 NBC Mon, Tue, and Wed Night at the Movies intros were basically the same (other than day of week) as the Sat 60s-1972 version (for The War Wagon) that is currently on RU-vid? Thanks very much! Bill

When I think of Millin Dollar Movie, I always think of King Kong. "If you missed any part of King Kong, or wish to see it again...."

@@vincentdefeo5917 I agree 100%. By the way, you can still get all those channels for free if you're willing to go out an get yourself a digital antenna.

Originally?"Million Dollar Movie"opening with the original version of"Tara's Theme"from "Gone With The Wind" as it's theme music...years later..The staffers used a different arrangement of Max Steiner's theme music.

@scronx 2 месяца назад

Wow, nice and maybe borrowed right from the GWTW music track? And maybe sped up :)

@ChelseaRialtoStudios 2 месяца назад

I believe I used the Cyril Ornadel MGM recording done in 1961 for the Civil War Bicentennial. That was the recording used by WOR.

@matthewfuchs7641 Год назад

As a toddler, I found the WOR editorials confusing, but not uninteresting. They always closed with... "...what's your opinion? We'd like to know."

Does anyone know exactly what year was The Jolson Story aired? Thanks

@ChelseaRialtoStudios 7 лет назад

Early 60's through early 70's. I made a reel-to-reel recording off air in 1971. Fultonhistory.com has newspapers from the tri-state area. You can search there for myriad dates.

@VDBlues 7 лет назад

Thanks for the info. I was basically trying to find out if I watched a week of the Jolson Story before the Beatles came to America. Mmm, maybe not.

@anthonydeluca5174 6 лет назад

first aired in October 1962

@benstein3014 6 лет назад

AMAZED that you said The Jolson Story!!!!! When I was home sick from school I would hope that the Jolson Story would be on. Invariably... it was!! I guess because of that I've had a life-long love affair with that film. I have it on Blue Ray along with the sequel. And I loved the open with the Tara theme song. I'm such a geek! Gary Stein
