Description: Since the advent of broadcasting, movies on television have been popular for audiences (as well as for advertisers.) In Austin, local affiliate KTBC-TV introduced Hollywood movies with specially crafted interstitials. This film represents one example, featuring images of famous stars such as Gary Cooper, Gregory Peck, Clark Gable, and Robert Mitchum. It also shows an usher escorting patrons to their seats in a local cinema. Voice over by Austin broadcast legend, Cactus Pryor.
