Re: [MOPO] Fun MOPO Thread
Hi all, In the SF Bay Area, I remember The Premiere Movie on Channel 2. It showed the same movie on weekend nights and maybe Friday and Monday too. I remember watching the same movie on multiple nights. I especially remember watching Billy Budd several times. We were lucky. In the early 60's the Big Show played every weekday afternoon on Channel 7(?). On 2 days a week I saw just about every 50's sci fi/horror film. There was also a Sword and Sandal Day (Remember the Sons of Hercules). Then we had Dialing For Dollars on Channel 2 at 1 during the week. I swear I saw both Shock Corridor and Naked Kiss there. Last but certainly not least Gil Hile's All Night Movies. I saw everything from Max Ophuls' Letter to an Unknown Woman to John Derek football movies. Sigh, Michael, Cinecityposters P.S.

Re: [MOPO] Fun MOPO Thread
Hi Bruce: We are pretty close in age. I am 53. I think my Dad bought our first color television in 1965. We were the first on our block to have a RCA color TV. It was really exciting. I think many were buying them to see Bonanza in color. Those were the good old days. My favorite show as a kid was Flipper. I liked the underwater aspects of it. Also I liked Sea Hunt but that was not in color. Wish it had been. I think some of these 16mm syndication prints were black and white of color. Like The Boy With Green Hair. It sure didn't make sense in black and white. I think many of the stations had a glut of black and white of color titles and were running them forever. Even when color came in. Yes, the horse of a different color would not work when it changed it's colors on a black and white television. That reminds me of a book I read one time on the making of The Wizard Of Oz. They could not paint that horse with paint of any kind because people were upset about it (early 1939 PETA???) So they mixed up concentrated Jello and painted that horse with Jello. I think it said in that book that in certain scenes you can possibly see the horse lick at the Jello. Yes, OZ did have a sepia tone opening and closing. Good movies, tv shows and memories!!! All The Best Bruce!!! --Tom In a message dated 11/10/2008 12:19:41 A.M.

I also never understand the horse of a different color in The Wizard of Oz (or that there was a difference between the opening of the movie and the rest of the movie) until I finally saw it in a theater (likely at an MGM Children's Matinee type showing in the later 1960s!

Re: [MOPO] Fun MOPO Thread
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. see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBC_Saturday_Night_at_the_Movies K.

Re: [MOPO] Fun MOPO Thread
I totally remember Chiller Theater. Just like Bruce, my early years, growing up in Columbus, Ohio, we hard Tarzan Theater, Shirley Temple, Charlie Chan, Abbott and Costello, and the 3 Stooges every Saturday morning. I use to watch the cartoon line up, then Sky King and Roy and Dale (Happy Trails to You!!) and then some old movie series. Then onto L.A. and, not only the Million Dollar movie, but another one every Saturday and Sunday afternoon with Bob somebody (his last name escapes me) in my later teen years and so on. It's funny how we all were growing up in different parts of the country watching the same things and here we are, all these years later, still into those same movies. Great, huh!!

I watched the Bowery Boys every week. and somehow never got tired of them. I was amazed years later to learn that the little Sweet Shop owner, Louie, was actually Loe Gorcey's father!

Re: [MOPO] Fun MOPO Thread
K, SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER is worth watching if only for Liz's scream at the end. As for Losey's THE SERVANT. I watched it initially in film school then again recently and is unquestioningly brilliant to this day. Never saw PICASSO SUMMER but it sounds hilarious if not boring as hell. What's that horrible one they play all the time, you know, right around the Holidays? I'm kidding.

Re: [MOPO] Fun MOPO Thread
The reason they showed these all the time was because they would buy the rights to them for a month or 6 months or a year, and they could show them as often as they wanted within that time. Of course, some of these movies were public domain. In New York in the 1950s and early 1960s they had The Million Dollar Movie on local Channel 9 (with the theme music from Gone With the Wind which was rumored to have been shown as the first The Million Dollar Movie but had been too expensive and that was merely urban legend), and every day at 1 PM, 7 PM, 9 PM and 11 PM they would show the same movie for an entire week, 20 times each! That's how I memorized the words to Inherit the Wind and some other classics! Murder, He Says *IS* every bit as funny as you think it was (it is my favorite slapstick movie of all time, and if I haven't seen it in years I will sit convulsed in laughter at the best scenes, especially the one where Fred MacMurray sits on the unconscious twin's legs and is mistaken for a midget, the dinner scene with the lazy Susan, and the one where Fred MacMurray convinces the dumb as doornail twins he is with a ghost). The movie has quite a cult following, but is otherwise forgotten. The song goes as follows (once you get it in your head it is hard to forget): Honor flysis, income beesis Onches Knobes, Inknob keysis Well worth catching, or buying, but be prepared, it really is as silly as can be, and you will be amazed at how funny Fred MacMurray could be!

Re: [MOPO] Fun MOPO Thread
Growing up in New Jersey in the 60's we saw The Million Dollar Movie all the time as well. The movie I most remember them showing over and over was HOUSE ON HUANTED HILL. If you're a little kid that movie could be really scarey. Especially the dripping blood from the stain that wouldn't go away... They always said something like, If you've missed any portion of today's movie... Knowing full well it was going to be shown 20 times more. I think comedians from the East made fun of this for years.

Of course, some of these movies were public domain. In New York in the 1950s and early 1960s they had The Million Dollar Movie on local Channel 9 (with the theme music from Gone With the Wind which was rumored to have been shown as the first The Million Dollar Movie but had been too expensive and that was merely urban legend), and every day at 1 PM, 7 PM, 9 PM and 11 PM they would show the same movie for an entire week, 20 times each! That's how I memorized the words to Inherit the Wind and some other classics! Murder, He Says IS every bit as funny as you think it was (it is my favorite slapstick movie of all time, and if I haven't seen it in years I will sit convulsed in laughter at the best scenes, especially the one where Fred MacMurray sits on the unconscious twin's legs and is mistaken for a midget, the dinner scene with the lazy Susan, and the one where Fred MacMurray convinces the dumb as doornail twins he is with a ghost). The movie has quite a cult following, but is otherwise forgotten. The song goes as follows (once you get it in your head it is hard to forget): Honor flysis, income beesis Onches Knobes, Inknob keysis Well worth catching, or buying, but be prepared, it really is as silly as can be, and you will be amazed at how funny Fred MacMurray could be!

As for Losey's THE SERVANT. I watched it initially in film school then again recently and is unquestioningly brilliant to this day. Never saw PICASSO SUMMER but it sounds hilarious if not boring as hell. What's that horrible one they play all the time, you know, right around the Holidays? I'm kidding.
