Dag Spicer, Archivist at the Computer History Museum, informs me that they have obtained permission from MIT and WGBH to post a 1964 TV episode of John Fitch, Science Reporter, featuring MIT's CTSS time-sharing system and an interview with MIT Professor Fernando J Corbato.

This film was made available by Professor Morna Findlay of Edinburgh University.

According to mail from Corby, the movie was taped on 3" magnetic tape on May 9, 1963 and aired on WGBH-TV on May 16, 1963.
