Films shown on TV in Melbourne Australia during April 1957
by Thor-Delta | created - 01 May 2014 | updated - 01 May 2014 | PublicYes. Films shown on television in Melbourne Australia during April 1957. I may have made some mistakes or omissions. I only included feature films on the list, I excluded shorts.
Note: GTV-9 is a commercial station, ABV-2 is a non-commercial station. I might be wrong, but it appears commercial station HSV-7 didn't show any feature films during the month.
