All of this brings to mind the first (to the best of my knowledge)
feature films to be broadcast on network TV
in the U.S. This was on NBC (I THINK) and was programmed as SATURDAY
NIGHT AT THE MOVIES. It was a package of only 20th Century Fox films,
including THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS, TITANIC, THE STARS
AND STRIPES FOREVER, DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS - there were a bunch
more. This telecast
was sometimes in color, depending on the film.

What years was that during? I clearly remember them showing The
Jolson Story and Mighty Joe Young over and over and over but don't
really remember them showing Yankee Doodle Dandy much.
