1/9/54 from 5 to 6 pm on WCBS' "Late Matinee.'' Middle (1951) entry in the future Beaver dad's "Dennis O'Brien'' detective series, filmed on location in San Francisco by Sigmund Neufield's Spartan Productions for Lippert theatrical release. On VCI's "Forgotten Noir 4'' DVD set.
NY TV debut 1/9/59 at 11:15 pm on WCBS' "The Late Show.'' Universal, which co-owned the films Wanger produced for the studio, divided them up with a TV distributor who bought Wanger's share. Studio got Tourneur's excellent 1946 western, initially syndicated to TV via Screen Gems.
1/9/64 at 5 pm on WNBC's "Movie 4.'' Expat Mackendrick's 1954 comedy, an ancestor of LOCAL HERO. Listed under its original UK title THE MAGGIE, not an unusual occurrence for the many British imports on TV in those days.
1/9/69 at 8 am on WABC's "Movie of the Day.'' Johnny Mathis' title song, French locations most memorable about Negulesco's panned-and-scanned Sagan adaptation. US TV debut 3/16/63 on "NBC Saturday Night at the Movies.'' Not on DVD.
1/9/74 at 3:05 am on WCBS' "The Late Late Show.'' Tracy and Harlow, who had appeared together in GOLDIE (Fox, 1931) reunited at MGM five years later for her debut as a redhead, directed on location by the underrated J. Walter Ruben.
1/9/79 at midnight on WOR. "Vincent Price is not especially well cast as a local antiques dealer and gun-running Nazi admirer with a labored German accent'' in Florey's Saigon-set thriller, A.H. Weiler wrote in his 12/20/48 review after this opened at Criterion in Times Square.
1/9/84 from 8:30 to 11 on WOR's "Million Dollar Movie.'' One of the earliest post-'48 titles from the majors to reach TV, King's 1949 aviation classic made NY TV debut 12/26/60 for a week-long run on WNTA's "Picture of the Week.''
1/9/89 at 3:15 am on "TNT Overnight.'' DeMille's wildly melodrama 1929 all-talkie debut made NY TV debut 11/10/60 on WOR's "Million Dollar Movie'' with two showings that night as part of a week-long tribute "Great Films of the Past.''
1/9/94 at 10:30 am on AMC. Hawks' lusty 1935 romantic drama made its NY TV debut 3/1/65 on WCBS, which along with the other CBS owned and operated stations had purchased a large new-to-TV Goldwyn package.
1/9/99 at 3 pm on TCM. I'm not sure Olivier's 1953 musical ever made it into syndication. Earliest US TV showing I can find is 1989 on Showtime.
