The problem with all of those Fox color films that NBC broadcast is that they were all filmed in CineamaScope and NBC used "flat" prints that cut off at least 1/3 of the scope ratio. I remember the "sqeeze" during the credits so they could fit them in.

I do remember watching the NBC broadcast of "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and there was Michael Rennie after the film was over in a taped "greeting". Anyone else remember that?
