    I don't have a specific link for this, but the national syndicated CBS movie was called simply "The Late Show".

    The theme played in the 50's and early 60's (and late 60's and early 70's) was The Syncopated Clock

    In the early 70's the title was switched to "The CBS Late Movie" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CfpCf-wWeY
    But it was back being called "The Late Show" in the 1980's.

    There was also a "Late Show 2" and a "Late Late Late Show"
    for films shown after the 11:30 slot
