Famous Film Festival

Famous Film Festival

"Famous Film Festival" was an American television prime time movie series that that aired Sunday nights on ABC during the 1955-56 television season.

In 1955, ABC obtained the rights to broadcast 35 British movie titles. These included "Great Expectations", "Brief Encounter", "Odd Man Out", "Caesar and Cleopatra", "The Red Shoes" and "Hamlet". Many of these were either drastically cut to fit a ninety-minute time slot or shown in two parts.

Other British films obtained at the same time were shown as part of the non-prime time "Afternoon Film Festival".
