This was actually "Fashions in Sewing", hosted by Lucille Rivers.

There was a 1969-1970 syndicated (?) game show called "The Movie Game", though I don't know if this was the same program.
 
"The Movie Game" was still in production in 1971 (I think it
ended in 1972) so I also feel certain it's the syndicated show.
By '71 Larry Blyden had replaced Sonny Fox as host; Blyden would
go almost directly from there to "What's My Line?" in 1972.
 
Interesting to see what KLTV/7 was doing in the late afternoon before the years of the revolving door of Big Valley (later Star Trek, later Bonanza) reruns (then start over again)... Also interesting to see the daytime juggling act of that time in print--the earliest TV watching of Ch.7 I remember was a similar daytime mix (sometime along the way, All My Children came into view, and I don't remember Ch.7 carrying Somerset the whole time). They had to be doing well carrying LMAD as there was no local competition at the time (especially any that would carry As the World Turns opposite it). The juggling act probably got more crazy as most of Ch.7's surviving soap lineup would slowly go the 1-hour route--eventually making Ch.7 choose ABC as a primary by the end of the 70s/start of the 80s (I know Ch.7 still had Days and AW in 1981).

If I recall correctly KLTV lost "Star Trek" in about 1984 to KLMG, but got it back in the early 90s, not too long after TNG went to 5-day syndication. KLTV would run TOS in a late night slot on Tuesdays-Fridays at 12:05 AM(later Wed-Fri when KLTV finally started picking up "NYPD Blue" and dumped "Babylon 5" to the 12:05 slot) until about late 94, then dumped TOS and replaced it with TNG's strip run.
