The show's original sponsors (when it appeared on ABC's Wednesday night schedule at 8:30pm(et), right after "DISNEYLAND") were American Tobacco [Pall Mall, featuring Ernest Chappell as spokesman] and General Foods [Instant Maxwell House, et. al.]. This episode was originally telecast on January 18, 1956.
The bulk of the "MGM PARADE" shows featured recycled short subjects and highlights from the studio's vast inventory; this edition features a "John Nesbitt's Passing Parade" segment, "People on Paper" (1945), and Carey Wilson's "Ghost Treasure" (1941). "Ransom!" was released a week after this telecast; the idea was to promote upcoming MGM films for a period of two weeks before their national release {usually, Murphy would chat with one of the stars of the movie being promoted during the second week}.
This definitely didn’t have Ghost Treasure, in whole or in part. Do you have any other MGM Parade Shows with it or otherwise know how I can view it in full? Thank you in advance!
