the ABC 4:30 movie bumper/promo (remixed with sound)

[WitzlawTN]

All right, this is consistent with what was shown at WXYZ in Detroit. Thanks for sharing. --SJR

Much better audio than the rest. These charts rock! Charts? -sheet music and arrangement.

[glasscitadel12]

I love it!!

[hobokenwiseguy]

This, I do remember, yep!!!!!!!!

[FrightNight7387]

I've watched the 4:30 Movie going back to the early 1970's and don't remember this intro at all. Absolutely fabulous.

[CookyMonzta]

Holy shit!!! I thought I would NEVER see THIS 4:30 Movie intro again! This one, I am pretty sure, was used by WABC Channel 7 in NYC until around 1975 (forgive me if my memory is fuzzy; I was 9 back then). Then came the one provided to us by Rousian. Then came the intro provided to us by burtiscurtis09; that one I believe came around 1980.

With Oprah shutting down, they really need to seriously bring the 4:30 Movie back. No more reality TV infesting the network channels.

[LeroyBright]

@CookyMonzta I wholeheartedly agree!



[ftsjr]

THIS is the 4:30 movie theme that I remember! I especially recall the guy carrying the ladder at :39, and the director sitting in his chair, at the end. My mom would watch the movie, while dinner was cooking. If I wasn't outside with my friends, I might join her. No wonder I now have a great love of classic movies.

[bearfedway]

Nice find. I do remember this intro with that music prior to the rotating camera operator open. Thanks for posting.

[Headroom23]

Great job.  Too bad ABC doesn't have the 4:30 Movie anymore.

[CookyMonzta]

@Headroom23 If only a nice, big petition can change all that. There are a lot of good movies, even short recent ones, going to waste or even disintegrating in some storage vault.

[nikonguy102]

Thanks for posting this I remember coming home from school in the 70's for the 4:30 movie

[nikonguy102]

We don't have classic stuff like this in Chicago anymore

[mazinz2]

@nikonguy102 we don't have anything like this anywhere on tv anymore

[cultureshock29]

@nikonguy102 ---that's for sure---I'll always remember the 3:30 Movie (in Chicago)

[TokyoAnimeJunkie]

Dude this is major!!

[obsgia]

That was wonderful! What program do you use to create this great bumper? I would like to make something like that.

[KentuckyFriedGunman]

@obsgia

*facepalm*

[mazinz2]

@obsgia

all I did was use womble mpeg video wizard to mux (mix) the video of my clip with the audio of another clip. There are a ton of other video programs out there that would do something like this for you. It was all pretty simple

[humbleradio]

Wow. Great find.

[matt89102]

I remeber this one too.

[Markieo]

Excellent, this one brings back memories!!

[timmymylad]

Is this the "original" opening to the ABC 4:30 Movie from (1968)? I never this one before!

[wmbrown6]

@timmymylad - It would be 1968, because Detroit's WXYZ, on May 20 of that year, was the first to call its afternoon showcase "The 4:30 Movie" (WABC, from the point it moved its afternoon movies to 4:30 on Jan. 8, 1968 up to c.January 1969, used "The Big Show" initially, then switched c.January 1969 to "The 4:30 Movie"). And up to 1973, both WABC and WXYZ used the same "4:30 Movie" logo.

[StukInBuf]

Bravissimo!

[lugnuts6]

Ive been hoping SOMEONE had this !!! Beautiful!!!

[MSTS1]

[mikeecko1980]
