- Under fair use (criticism & commentary) of the 1976 copyright act, I present this opening of the 4 O'clock movie opening. It says 4:30, but that was when most markets aired the broadcasts. Other than that, it is identical. I have also restored the original sound used in the Detroit opening
I rarely watched the 4 O'clock movie. But I was in front of the TV for the whole week, for Monster Week! A great time to be a kid. Today, the kids have no clue, and that is a shame.
WXYZ's skein was "The 4:30 Movie" up to 1976 when it was moved to 4:00. So this fit. But what would've been WXYZ's theme for said movies pre-1970?
And New York's "4:30 Movie" theme was actually "The Big Show (Theme)," composed by Walter Raim.
Wow! Now that's what I call nostalgia. However, I don't recall Chicago's music.
I grew up back then and remember a completely different audio than Chicago.
Instead of "Moving Pictures," It's the open to "Ballet for a Girl from Buchannon" by Chicago.
You mean Walter Raim's "The Big Show (Theme)," don'tcha? (I double-checked both ASCAP's ACE database and a circa 1969 Catalogue of Copyright Entries for that; plus, the producer of the session that yielded that had commented on another YT clip with "The 4:30 Movie" theme to set the record straight.) But I doubt that WXYZ used the Chicago music at first, since that was first released in 1970 and WXYZ had their movies at 4:30 from 1968 to 1976.
@Russ Herschler : Is this the real footage? I thought the music was The Big Show Theme by Walter Raim. It's quite interesting. Thanks.
