The story behind some catchy music that punctuated late-night movies
Television then was a medium hungry for content. TV stations needed flickering images they could broadcast into viewers’ homes. Plenty of this content was piled up in a magical place called Hollywood: old movies.But executives at major studios weren’t sure they wanted their old films shown on television. They felt TV was a competitor, siphoning viewers from movie theaters. And so, many TV stations had to pad their schedules with foreign films, films from smaller U.S.
CBS took the lead. In 1951, its flagship station, WCBS in New York City, debuted a nightly film offering, showing an old movie every night at 11:10 p.m.was the program manager at the time and he claimed to have named the program — “The Late Show” — and to have picked its theme music: “The Syncopated Clock” by Anderson., as in the light orchestral music popularized byof the Boston Pops. In fact, Fiedler was among those who encouraged Anderson to devote his life to music.
In 1943, Anderson was sent to Officer Candidate School and then posted to the Pentagon as chief of the Scandinavian Department of Military Intelligence. He moved his young family to Arlington. When Fiedler learned Anderson was back Stateside, he invited him to be the guest conductor at the Boston Pops Harvard Night concert.
