Before the TV was commonplace, people saw the news at their local movie theaters. Newsreels were shown before feature films and at dedicated newsreel movie theaters in larger cities.These vintage Universal Newsreel collections are a way to glimpse special events of the past.
A note on quality: Newsreels were not preserved with the same care as much other old film footage. Although most of the footage is of very good quality, this collection may have portions that are silent or have degraded audio or video.
This collection includes the year of 1956 and has a run time of 2 hours 8 minutes on 1 DVD.
Some of the news items covered in this collection include: Avery Dulles ordained in New York by Archbishop Spellman; Republican national Convention in Cow Palace in San Francisco; Greeks and girls riot against British soldiers in Cyprus; Venezuela builds largest earthen dam in South America; DeSoto pace car for Indy 500 car race, won by Pat Flaherty; Santa Claus arrives in flying saucer in Pennsylvania; Nasser tells crowd he has seized Suez Canal; Hungarian Revolt - red star ripped out of Hungary flags, patriots guard frontier, medical supplies airlifted, demonstrations in US; "Near East Raid.
