You wouldn't happen to have any CBS Late Movie promos for "How Sweet It Is" with James Garner and Debbie Reynolds, or for "Don't Drink The Water" with Jackie Gleason, would you? Those were my two favorites!
Sort of a strange coincidence that the man who announced the movie each week was Norm Stevens, and the man who composed the theme music was Mort Stevens! The CBS Late Movie is one of my favorite childhood memories.
Tap, do you remember the Channel 2 Late Show opening with stars dancing from an open window into a TV? The background music was actually Hot Butter's ("Popcorn" fame) version of The Syncopated Clock. Does anyone remember it? I'm still wondering how on earth mom let me stay up so late...
@DanZero77 - Let's not forget, a few Avco Embassy movie packages were had by WNBC-TV in New York in the late 1960's and early '70's. (One of which included the now-classic "The Producers.")
@wmbrown6 Ok, but I would not be watching anything as *good* as that movie would be.... I was always drawn to the low budget "B" movies very often, which is why I LOVED the Drive In Movie on WNEW!!
I want to make a ringtone out of the Avco-Embassy clip so I can freak people out!!

And all promos were voiced by Norm Stevens.

WOW. Avco Embassy, that just screams low-budget late 70s/early 80s movies repeatedly shown on New York's big independent station movie umbrellas!
I am guessing that in the waning days of the CBS Late Movie, CBS TV series were being shown more often?

@wmbrown6 Ah but see, I wasn't around back then, I was born in '77 and all I remember is their lower-quality fare shown on 5, 9, and 11. ;)

@DanZero77 - The funny thing is, the package WNBC had that included "The Producers" had gone to WOR by 1978 or so. :-D
