Ok, this one is really nuts. Here is the opening to what was a WLS Channel 7 Late Night Movie presentation of "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" - however, they screwed up and played the opening for the 3:30 Movie - but it's a different opening than we've seen so far!

Modelled after the updated graphics for The 3:00 Movie, it uses the same music as well. (an edited, sped-up version of Ramsey Lewis' "Skippin'" from his 1977 album "Tequila Mockingbird")

They couldn't have run this version of the 3:30 Movie opening for very long, perhaps maybe 6 months at the most. By Monday, July 21st 1980 it had changed to the 3:00 Movie.

In any case, they probably realized this screw-up and that's why they faded out the opening early and started the movie.

(includes a WLS-TV ID slide and voiceover PSA at the beginning by ??)

This aired on local Chicago TV early Saturday, March 1st 1980 @ around 12:37am!
