The NBC Monday Movie
The NBC Monday Movie was a television anthology series of films that debuted on February 4, 1963 (in the middle of the 1962-63 season).Contrary to popular contemporary belief, the corporate initials, "NBC", were, at first, not part of the official title for the network's anthologies of old movies, and would not be for years to come.In the latter years of Monday Night at the Movies' run, more and more made-for-TV movies were showcased, while theatrical films, fewer in number, were edited for content, to remove objectionable material, and occasionally, but not always, to reduce the film's running time to fit into the two-hour time slot.[5] With a 7:30 pm (EST) start time, the movies of the show's first season were made up of mostly action-adventures, an occasional romance such as My Cousin Rachel, and two Pat Boone musicals.In hopes of better ratings and to re-coup some of their investment, the films in the second list below would be re-broadcast on Saturday Night at the Movies in the late spring and summer of 1964.
