- The NBC Monday Movie
"The NBC Monday Movie" was a
television program scheduled every Monday night from1963 to1999 onNBC . It was referred to in the early part of its run as "NBC Monday Night at the Movies". In1965 , the telecasts resumed on Tuesdays, so it was quite naturally re-named "The NBC Tuesday Night Movie". The name would henceforth change depending on what night of the week the program was telecast.This show featured edited
feature film s and, in the latter part of its run, made-for-TV movies. The featured films were edited for content, to remove objectionable material, and occasionally, but not always, for time, to reduce the film's running time to fit into the 2-hour timeslot. And as all widescreen films were then, they werepan-and-scan ned so the image would fit the standard 4:3 television screen (as opposed toletterbox format).
