For an average $40,000 apiece, he bought 30 old pictures from the Bank of America (which it had got through foreclosure), including Miracle of the Bells and Arch of Triumph. O'Neil called his programs "Million Dollar Movie," and ran what amounted to a movie house on Mutual's New York station WOR-TV, showing each film as often as three times daily.
