The Movie Game (1969-1971)

Shown in the New York tristate area on WOR-TV (usually late Saturday afternoons, right before Gerry Anderson’s UFO), The Movie Game was a movie trivia game show hosted by actor Larry Blyden (replacing first season emcee Sonny ‘Christmas That Almost Wasn’t’ Fox) with assist from Hollywood columnist Army Archerd. I kept up with it fairly regularly in the late 1960s and early 70s — long after the show’s initial run, WOR would use episodes as filler for rained-out ballgames. Panelists in this clip are Shelly Winters, Roscoe Lee Browne, Richard Crenna, Fernando Lamas, Della Reese and Kurt Kasznar. Pinky swear! Meanwhile, you might remember Larry for playing Babs’ boyfriend in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.
