Here's the complete broadcast of The 3:30 Movie presentation of the Robert Redford film "The Candidate" [1972] as presented on WLS Channel 7.

Also stars Peter Boyle and co-starring Don Porter, Allen Garfield, Karen Carlson, Quinn Redeker, Morgan Upton, Michael Lerner, Kenneth Tobey, and Melvyn Douglas; and featuring cameos from such then-prominent political and "fourth estate" media figures as ABC's Howard K.

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:

The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: [email protected]  Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to digital, please e-mail [email protected]  Thank you for your help!
