The ABC Movie of the Week: Big Movies for the Small Screen
ISBN: 9780810891562 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On September 23, 1969, five years after the first made-for-television movie premiered, the ABC network broadcast Seven in Darkness.

Although most of the movies are no longer remembered, a handful are still fondly recalled by viewers today, including Duel,...
