The Miami News breaks out the information on the movies as follows:

8:00pm (6) “Tea for Two” (1950) Doris Day, Gordon McRae, Eve Arden. Mildly diverting comedy musical made long before Doris went dramatic. Based on the 1920 play “No, No Nanette.” Good.

8:00pm (10) “Requiem for a Heavyweight” (1962) Anthony Quinn, Jackie Gleason, Mickey Rooney. What happens to a competent and honest boxer who almost reaches the top in his 17 years in the ring and is forced to quit after a match that spells the end. Very Good

8:00pm (12) “Wheeler and Murdock” (1972) Jack Warden, Christopher Stone, Van Johnson, Diane Baker, Jane Powell. Seattle-based private detectives get involved with a million dollar robbery and a syndicate murder. No rating available, Immediately followed by

“The New Healers” (1972) Burgess Meredith, William Windom. Adventure drama about ex-Vietnam medics who meet strong resistance when they try to use their skills to help out in a mountainous community which is facing a natural disaster. No rating available.

11:30 pm (4) “Hawaii Five-0” (1968) Jack Lord, Nancy Kwan, Leslie Nielsen, Andrew Duggan, Lew Ayers. Member of a special investigative unit of the Hawaii state government launches his own investigation into the death of a close friend and discovers a connection with the deaths of other American secret agents in Asian. Good.

At first I thought WEAT had replaced ABC’s airing of “Requiem” with the two short movies…but on second blush, based on the fact both were made in 1972, I’m going to say that WPLG pre-empted them “Requiem” instead. Anyone know if these were failed pilots or just one-off short stories?
