Staying up late watching the CBS Late Movie on summer nights between school years gave me my first inkling that I was destined to be a night owl. I loved those quiet, peaceful nights when I had the TV to myself after everybody else in the household was asleep.
I’m just confused as to what the Late Show on CBS (pre-David Letterman) that showed movies was. Did it replace the Late Movie?
They don’t make movies like this anymore. Too much blood, guts, gore & sex. No actors around like Widmark.
Man, I loved those late night movies that used to be shown, either on the networks or locally. Saw some real gems.
That is the way it happened- Madigan’s way !
Incredibly gullible start: a hijacker needlessly breaks a bottle, thereby cutting his hand and leaving a clue; and veteran cop Madigan is given a dummy at Lisbon Airport by a young woman.
watchin’ a movie or commercials ?
Is Dame Mae Fishman in this one?
