Movie audiences had grown to expect films to be shown in widescreen and in color, so older black-and-white Academy ratio films had lost much of their value to the theatres. By the late-1950s, with the exception of some of [[Walt Disney Pictures|Walt Disney]]'s films and <i>The Wizard of Oz</i> (1939), these older films had become standard fare for independent stations and the non-prime time schedules of the network affiliates. A short-lived black-and-white ABC-TV series entitled <i>Famous Film Festival</i> had premiered in 1956, but had shown British films made in the 1940s. They were shown in a ninety-minute time slot, which meant that the films had to either be severely edited or shown in two parts. <i>NBC Saturday Night at the Movies</i> was the first network movie anthology series to run two hours (and occasionally longer), so that the films could be shown in one evening. For their 1961 television season, NBC obtained the rights to broadcast 31 post-1950 movie titles from 20th Century Fox, although only 30 were actually telecast that season. One film, <i>The Seven Year Itch</i>, was held off by the network until the start of the 1963 season. On September 23, 1961, <i>Saturday Night at the Movies</i> premiered with the 1953 film <i>How to Marry a Millionaire</i>, presented "In Living Color". Many of these films, having been made in Cinemascope, a Fox specialty from 1953 to 1967, had to be severely panned-and-scanned for fullscreen television viewing (which was the only kind of television aspect ratio in existence then). That initial deal with Fox ended up lasting two seasons, with a total of 61 films. And when the studio found greener pastures over at rival ABC, the network found studios such as [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures|MGM]] and [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] eager to provide content. Because commercial breaks were shorter until the late 1960s, films running less than two hours sometimes ended before the close of the program. The remaining time was filled up with theatrical trailers of upcoming films scheduled to be shown on the series in the future. By about 1968, this was no longer necessary, as commercial breaks had become longer. The three major commercial networks did not show worn-out 16mm prints of films as was then the usual practice on local TV stations. The films aired on the network movie anthology series (as well as annually-telecast specials such as <i>The Wizard of Oz</i>) were 35mm prints invariably in excellent condition. With the advent of cable television, VHS, and DVD, the idea of always showing films - even very old ones - in pristine, remastered condition on television has become the norm, but aside from films shown on the three major networks, this was simply not done prior to the 1980s. NBC broadcast <i>Saturday Night at the Movies</i> until October 28, 1978. Some of the other movie series on television were also cancelled by the end of the decade. However, some continued well into the 1980s and even beyond.<br/><br/><br/></font><div><font size="3"><font>1st Open<br/>(1961-1972)<br/></font><font><u><div><u><br/></u></div><div><img align="right" alt="NBC Saturday Night at the Movies (c. 1961)" height="237" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/BeUuvQ_3lg4kZn5wSYxMKg74001/GW316H237" title="NBC Saturday Night at the Movies (c. 1961)" width="316"/></div>Logo</u>: TBA. <br/><br/><u>Variants</u>: TBA.<br/><br/><u>FX/SFX</u>: TBA.<br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u>: TBA.<br/><br/><u>Availability</u>: Extinct.<br/><br/><u>Editor's Note</u>: TBA.<br/><br/><br/><br/>2nd Open<br/>(1971-1972)<br/></font><font><u><div><u><br/></u></div><div><img align="right" alt="NBC Friday Night at the Movies (1971)" height="226" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/aoJtfd06nMr09GV_6NhwRQ13263/GW320H226" title="NBC Friday Night at the Movies (1971)" width="320"/></div>Logo</u>: TBA. <br/><br/><u>Variants</u>: TBA.<br/><br/><u>FX/SFX</u>: TBA.<br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u>: TBA.<br/><br/><u>Availability</u>: Extinct, as there are not extant video recordings.
