WNBC-4 - '64 - (repro) - Movie Out-Break

[MSTS1 Re-Production]- Movie outbreak with the WNBC '64-era logo. I was able to remake this particular version of the logo shown here thanks to info. sent to me by YT user "torg0". )
*Sometime later, but by then too late after I uploaded this, I realized that the sound was missing on one channel. A problem with my speakers got me to adjust sound prefs to mono, but that hid the fact at that time of a problem with one of the audio channel tracks. Those speakers have since failed, and are now replaced.

The other query: Which film was that excerpted?  Something WNBC had run over the years, I'd presume . . .

[MSTS1]

I used "Sands Of Iwo Jima". Wouldn't know if WNBC ever ran it, but I think it fits with my graphic fairly well..

what's the music playing?

[MSTS1]

Just an edit from the WNBC movie music; don't know the name..

I've since found out that Channel 4 had had "Sands of Iwo Jima" since WRCA-TV days in 1957-58, around which time the station acquired a package of post-1948 Republic films. Their rights to the pictures expired in 1962-63, after which other stations, including WABC, inherited them.

P.S. WABC's "The 4:30 Movie" did air "Sands..." at least once. On April 3, 1970, the last day of one of their periodical "John Wayne Weeks."

I think WNBC aired "Sands of Iwo Jima" on and off up to 1962 or '63, after which it went to WABC for several years (I don't think "The 4:30 Movie" aired it, though I could be wrong), and by the mid-1970's WNEW had it. WNBC, however, did have a few other war movies they ran frequently on "Movie 4," including "Guadalcanal Diary" and (after 1968) "Merrill's Marauders."

Awesome! Great work as always!

It was discussed before. On your "Movie 4" open/close page.

It would be an easy-listening version of Sidney Bechet's "Petite Fleur (Little Flower)"; just don't know which orchestra recorded it.
