Bill Collins introduced the motion picture, “This Is My Love” (1954), at noon, on Channel Seven. It stars the late Linda Darnell, Faith Domergue — whose character’s husband, played by the late Dan Duryea, is confined to a wheelchair — as sisters, who are both vying for the love of the same man, portrayed by Rick “Combat” Jason.

The show concludes with Chad Everett’s character, Dr Joe Gannon, declaring: “Who needs Australia?”
