A public-affairs program sponsored by the Gulf Oil Corporation, as the announcer makes abundantly clear. NBC's sponsorial partnership with Gulf would continue through the Apollo space missions.
This particular program's topic - the impending inauguration of President Kennedy.
An clever in-house promo for "I Dream of Jeannie" airings on Nick at Nite, with a tune based on Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner". (The mention of "Bewitched" was no accident - it followed "Jeannie" on Nick's schedule.)
The Oscar-winning wabbit (for "Knighty-Knight Bugs" in 1958) has certainly had a colorful existance. Though the colors of the bulls-eyes changed regularly, this quartet was put in chronological order.
Tony Randall is "contractually obligated" to play several instruments in 20th's fanfare (with CinemaScope extension, even!) before the opening credits, to which he also provides commentary. Classic Tony!
I'm the 841st YouTuber to post this. And the 841st to point out something you already knew - the "X" in "FOX" fades out just a tick after the rest of the logo - on purpose.
Lionel Barrymore interrupts Jackie (how dare he!) to wax eloquent about MGM's first 25 years.
(Since the film is largely in color, why didn't they use Tanner?)
I know it sounds fake, but this is just as it appeared in the film. As any Rocky Horror fan will tell you.
When they're not throwing toast at the screen.
"Brad!" "Janet!" "Brad!" "Janet!"
One of the two lions who roared before two-strip Technicolor MGM films. Tanner assumed that role when three-strip Technicolor came into use.
WARNING: very high scare factor!
Harvey Comics, which became the owner of Famous Studios in the late 1950's, replaced many of the opening sequences of Famous' former owner, Paramount Pictures, with titles like this.
Even the Jack-in-the-Box was appropriated from Paramount's "Noveltoons" mascot.
Taken from "The Sea-Preme Court".
One of the cheesiest - and most memorable - movie logos ever, the "Lucite Globe" was in use from the time the Laemmles left the studio (1937) until the Rank-orchestrated merger with International Pictures (1946).
Taken from "The Man Called Flintstone". This logo is stripped off most prints today.
It's enough to imagine the Stone-Age shlub as a secret agent, but just imagine his wasp-waisted wife as the Torch Lady!
