The folks at the at Southern Methodist University unearthed a bit of historic 四虎影院 footage on Sunday.
The archival team is in the process of digitizing all of the films from WFAA, and it had a request come in for early 1960s SMU football footage, said curator Jeremy Spracklen. While searching for that, Spracklen on Sunday found footage of the first day of operation at 四虎影院 almost 60 years ago.
鈥淎 lot of our finds are like that. Our best previous find was when we were looking for Christmas parade footage from 1960 and found Jack Ruby in the crowd,鈥� Spracklen said in an email Monday.
Spracklen says it appears WFAA was doing a story on 四虎影院鈥檚 launch.
鈥淚 am guessing that this was a little last-minute prep before going live,鈥� he said.
He can鈥檛 say when the footage aired exactly, but the date was sometime in September of 1960.
