The 'Saturday Superstar Movie' (1972) was a Rankin/Bass production that was like a 'Movie of the Week' for cartoons. Each episode of TSSM would showcase a new story, from comic strips, movies, tv series, etc. Marlo Thomas lent her talents to 'That Girl in Wonderland' (1973) where she finds herself transported into several well-known fairy tales. (Since our 'That Girl' theme has been blocked, this is the closest I could get to that classic sitcom.) There are several posts of TGiW on various sites, but they're all the same video, which unfortunately has three jumps in the theme, breaking the rhythm and losing bits of music. We've corrected those jumps by restoring the missing music.
00:00 Opening titles: 'That Girl in Wonderland'. Theme by Maury Laws and Jules Bass. Laws worked as a performer in dance bands for a while, then found a new career as a producer at several record labels. He became music director for Videocraft (now called Rankin/Bass) a position he held for 20 years, supervising and composing music for productions like 'The Hobbit'.
00:59 Opening titles: 'Saturday Superstar Movie': ASCAP credits the umbrella theme to Steve Zuckerman and Frank West.
01:39 End credits and logo: 'That Girl in Wonderland'.
