Gilmore's body was quickly removed and rushed to a Salt Lake City medical center. After a three-hour autopsy that included the removal of eyes, kidneys and pituitary glands for scientific research, his remains were sent to Damico, who, according to Gilmore's wish, had them cremated. The following day, as Gilmore had also wished, his ashes were scattered from a plane flying over Provo, Utah, where six months ago he had committed the murder that led to his execution.

...begins the three-hour TV production Life Goes to the Movies, based on the bestselling picture book, which will be presented at 8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 31, on NBC. TIME Contributor and Cinema Critic Richard Schickel has appropriately been cast as writer and coproducer of the show; he was LIFE'S cinema critic and resident film historian. Unlike some film anthologies, L.G.T.T.M. does not spend all its time gazing in a rearview mirror.
