The ABC Sunday Night Movie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ABC Sunday Night Movie was a television program that aired on Sunday nights from 1962 to 1988 on ABC. The program presented theatrical feature films as well as made-for-TV movies. The feature films were edited (1) for content, to remove objectionable material (2) for time, to reduce the film's running time to fit into the 2-hour timeslot, and (3) for resizing, so the image would fit the standard 4:3 television screen (as opposed to letterbox format).
From 1968 to 1970, ABC ran a concurrent movie series on Wednesday nights, under the title The ABC Wednesday Night Movie.
A Tuesday night "ABC Movie of the Week" featuring Made-for-TV movies was added in 1969. The series was renamed "Tuesday Movie of the Week" and a Wednesday night "Wednesday Movie of the Week" was added in 1972. Both series continued until 1975.
From 1975 to 1983 (and again, briefly, in 1999) ABC ran a concurrent movie series on Friday nights, under the title The ABC Friday Night Movie.
