The CBS Late Movie

The CBS Late Movie is a CBS television series (later known as CBS Late Night) that aired during the 1970s and 1980s. The program ran in most American television markets from 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT) until 2:30 a.m. or later, on weeknights. A single announcer (in the early years, CBS staff announcer Norm Stevens) voiced the introduction and commercial bumpers for each program, but there was no host per se, or closing credits besides those of the night's presentation. (The bumpers announcing the stars of the movie rotated names, two or three at a time, so more of the players would be mentioned.)

The program was launched following the cancellation of The Merv Griffin Show, which aired as part of the network's late night lineup from 1969 to 1972, and went on to have a long run in first-run syndication after Griffin decided to end his contract with CBS before it could cancel the talk show.

From 1972 to 1984, "So Old, So Young", composed by CBS West Coast musical director Morton Stevens and which also served as the theme for CBS' prime time movies until 1978, served as the program's theme music.
