This looks to be one of 21/KVFD's better days, not a single "film feature."

40/KDUB Dubuque's schedule this day is interesting. Signing on at 1pm to run a couple of movies, pre-empting Pro Bowlers Tour; then pre-empting ABC from 7-9pm for "Psycho"... they must have found some movie sponsors. During this time frame, KDUB was typically not signing on weekends until ABC had sports, and weekday sign on was as late at 4:30pm.

During that week, 40 signed-on Sunday at 12:45, picking up NBA from the net at 1...during the week, they signed-on at noon, but ran Psychology of Drug Use & Abuse M/W/F 6:45-7:30am.

I notice Ch. 40 had the 1932 near-classic movie "If I Had A Million."
That movie was the basis for "The Millionaire," with the main differences
being that the billionaire was actually shown delivering the checks (no
John Beresford Tipton with his back to the camera, instructing his assistant
about the delivery of them), and the billionaire was shown picking the names
out of the phone book (something that was assumed, but never stated, in
Mr. Tipton's case). W.C. Fields played one of the recipients in this movie.
Even if you're not familiar with "The Millionaire" you'll still enjoy this movie;
try to catch it if it turns up on Turner Classic Movies.
