ACE OF ACES; The Eddie Rickenbacker
Story
-
Here is a fine Fox Movietone biography of the unbelievable life and career of
Congressional Medal of Honor-winning W.W. 1 airplane fighter ace Eddie
Rickenbacker who survived death many times and became an inspiration to many
generations.
Rickenbacker flew with the famed 94th. "HAT IN THE RING SQUADRON" during WW1.
For his skill and daring he received the Congressional Medal of Honor. He also
had 9 Distinguished Service Crosses on his chest for shooting down a total of 22
German planes and four balloons. His C.M.H was earned when, in a dogfight with
five German fighters, he shot down two of them. The other "Hun" pilots had the
good sense to turn away and fly back to the "Fatherland". A great teaching
instrument for children!

THE AMERICAN LEGION PARADE
Here is a wonderful, 11 minute, black and white newsreel about the
American Legion parade in New York City and the events surrounding the 29th
annual convention, including Dwight D. Eisenhower's speech to the legionnaires.
You will see outrageous and wonderful floats including one that looks like the
USS Illinois (!) battleship, and a lot of steam engines or trains, plus clowns,
etc.
The American Legion is an organization of veterans of the United States armed
forces who served in wartime. The Organization was founded in 1919 by veterans
returning from Europe after World War I and is headquartered in Indianapolis,
Indiana. The group has millions of members..
In addition to organizing commemorative events and volunteer activities, the
American Legion is active in U.S. politics. While its primary political activity
is lobbying for the interests of veterans, including support for veterans
benefits such as pensions and the Veterans Affairs hospital system, it has also
been involved in more general
political issues, generally taking a conservative pro-America position.

THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN
The Luftwaffe's mass and indiscriminate bombing of Britain began on August 6,
1940 and continued unabated until mid-1941 when it ended abruptly. Despite the

Fox Movietone
newsreels. Loaded with spectacular footage of air bombers,

BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST SHOW (1898-1902)
William F. Cody ("Buffalo Bill")....Indian fighter, soldier, Pony Express rider,
Army scout and hunter, was the principal character in scores of books and dime
novels carrying not only his by-line but those of such prolific writers as Ned
Buntline and Col. Prentiss Ingraham. In 1873, at the urging of Buntline, Cody
finally consented to appear on the stage in "The Scouts of the Plains" which was
a short playlet that Buntline planned to write. The theater appealed to Cody,
and during the next eight years he toured in such offerings as The Red Right
Hand, or Buffalo Bill's First Scalp for Custer; The Knight of the Plains, or
Buffalo Bill's Last Trail, and Twenty Days, or Buffalo Bill's Last Stand. They
apparently had trouble deciding on titles back then! During this period, Cody
had the idea of forming a Wild West show that would play major cities at spots
like Madison Square Garden in New York and would show the life of the Indians,
the scouts and the trappers and tell the story of the Pony Express. In May,
1883, Cody opened his first Wild West show in Omaha. Annie Oakley and her
husband Frank Butler joined the show and success grew throughout the years.

CHICAGO'S CENTURY OF PROGRESS EXPO (1933-34)
Chicago's "Century of Progress Exposition" of 1933 and 1934 actually got under
way on January 5, 1928, when a non-profit corporation was organized. Between
that
date and the opening of the Fair in 1933 came the stock market crash of
1929 and the depression in 1932. Yet, for all of the financial difficulties of
the time and the high level of unemployment, the 1933 period of the Fair was so
obviously a success that, well before the season was over, it was decided to contnue and expand the Exposition for the
1934 season. Scenes include a
panoramic view of the fair sweeping in from Lake Michigan, with the Michigan
Avenue skyline, the Avenue of Flags,
the Sky-Ride which offered a thrilling
200-feet above the lagoon, an authentic replica of Old Fort Dearborn of 1803,
the house of tomorrow. It had a circular glass house and predictions about
construction, some of which would come true. The Golden Temple of Jehol
transported Fair visitors to eighteenth century China. The Italian Pavilion, the
Belgian Village
with folk dance demonstrations, the Maya Temple, the American
Indian village, the Ukranian Village, the streets of Paris, the Hall of
Sciences, the Travel and Transportation building, the General Motors Exhibition
and much more. The exhibit even offered an automobile assembly line - primitive
by today's standards -- where visitors saw the
engine placed in the chassis, the
body mounted, gasoline put in the tank and the finished car driven off the line.
Five acres
of land known as the "Enchanted Island",
were set aside especially
for the children with roller coasters, Ferris wheels, train rides, etc.

CONEY ISLAND WHEN THE CENTURY
WAS YOUNG
Coney Island was a magic world of razzle-dazzle excitement extending along a
five mile stretch of ocean front in Brooklyn, New York. Ever since Charles
Feltman introduced the first hot dog at his Ocean Pavilion in 1974, Coney Island
has fascinated millions. By the turn of the century, Coney had "arrived", but
the movie industry was still in its infancy. Cameramen for the Edison and
Biograph studios cranked out short reels to entice viewers in the "coin in the
slot" peep shows. By steamer, by carriage, by five-cent trolly, people streamed
to Coney Island. The beach was the big attraction. Doing the cakewalk and
mugging for cameras. In 1897 George Tilyou opened Steeplechase Park. Many great
scenes of Coney from over 100 years ago in this documentary,

DISASTERS AT SEA
The "TAHITI" and the "MORRO CASTLE" tragedies are captured by Fox Movietone
News. The "Tahiti" of the Union Lines, one of the largest ships plying the
Pacific,
left Wellington, New Zealand, August 12, 1930, with 175 passengers and
a crew of 142. The vessel got into trouble on August 16. 460-miles south of
Rarotonga, Cook Islands. It lost it's starboard propeller and tail shaft and
began to leak. More than 300 passengers were rescued. Scenes of the rescue and
the ship sinking highlight the first half of this newsreel. The next segment
features "The Morro Castle" disaster. At 11,250 tons, it was a new ship of the
Ward Lane in "terry" service between New York and Havava. She was driven by
turbo-electric power which was briefly popular at the time. On the night of
September 8, 1934, two days out
of Havana, her captain collapsed and died.
The same night, off the New Jersey coast, fire broke out in the library. Rushing
to the scene were Coast Guard cutters and
the British liner "Monarch of
Bermuda". Towlines were secured to the cutter "Tampa". Then a north-easterly
wind arose plowing the Morro Castle ashore at Asbury Park, N.J. It took eight
days to fully extinguish the fire. There were 133 deaths! Fox Movietone cameras
capture the drama from both the sea and aerial cameras.

AN EDISON ALBUM
(1896-1907)
A variety of Edison studios film clips from kinetoscope to nickelodean in the
years from 1896 to 1907. John Rice and May Irwin in "The Kiss". Arcade patrons
amused themselves with Gilbert Sarony as "the Old Maid in a Drawing Room". By
1901, the first examples of the evolution of movies began to appear with "Street
Car Chivalry". The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad had a highly
successful advertising idea in their Phoebe Snow - a girl in white - who rode on
the "road of the Anthracite" without soiling her clothes. In 1902, Edwin S.
Porter, Edison's cameraman-director cast Marie Murray, a photographer's model,
in the role of Phoebe Snow in this film, "A Romance of the Rails" This was
significant extension of the story film idea, and also which might be called the
first advertising film. In 1907, a young actor who called himself Lawrence
Griffith walked into the Edison studio about the time Porter was getting set to
make the one-reel thriller, "Rescued from an Eagle's Nest". Lawrence Griffith
turned out to be none other than David Wark Griffith.

EIGHTY-SECOND AIRBORNE DIVISION
This is the saga of daring and courage of the 82nd Airborne Division which
became justly famous during World War 2 for its fine fighting traditions.
Calistenics, rifle range, glider loading, practice jumps and crash landings were
all a part of the rigorous training for the 82nd Airborne. The 82nd
Airborne had its initiation in Sicily on July 1943. When the Germans were trying
to break up the Allied beachhead at Salerno in September of 1943, the 82nd
was sent in as shown in newsreel footage. The 82nd troops were the first
Americans to enter Naples on October 1, 1943. Through mud, mud, and more mud ---
the 82nd fought with the Fifth Army in Italy. The
division was then shipped
back
to the British Isles, except for one combat team which remained in the Anzio
Beachhead through four long months of agony in early
1944. Extensive
preparations were made for the BIG ONE --- going into Normandy just before
D-Day. On the night of June 5th, the 82nd, along with other airborne divisions,
American and British, moved out silently and swiftly. The mission was to disrupt
the German defenses and assist the amphibious landings on Utah Beach.
For 33
days the airborne divisions continued to
fight to help assure a firm Allied
foothold on the continent of Europe. Great actual action scenes of the battles.
On Sept. 17th the three airborne divisions were sent into Holland to establish it
as a jumping-off position for the drive to Berlin. The Dutch pitched in to help.
The offensive progressed well until the Allies reached the Nijmegen Bridge
across the lower Rhine. It took 3 days to secure the bridge as brutal movie
footage shows. Suddenly in Dec. 1944, the Germans struck without warning in a
major counteroffensive in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg. The
82nd was rushed
into help hold the Northern shoulder of what came to be known as
"The Bulge". In January, 1945, the Allies cracked the Siegfried Line. As the
offensive moved swiftly
toward Berlin, the 82nd returned to the Cologne area in
April and smashed across the Rhine in a raid that won a Presidential citation. On
May 3, 1945, the 82nd Airborne took 145,000 prisoners. The war was over! The
82nd participated in 7 campaigns, 7 river crossings, 4 combat jumps and 2 glider
landings. An all-American division fighting for the American way of life.

FLYING AROUND THE BIG GAME - An airplane animal
adventure documentary
Marvelous arial photography in an airplane that travels to film various
wild animals including wildebeests, impala, zebra and all the many varieties of
plains game.
They fly
low over a herd of eland and find they were only
momentarily frightened after the airplane had passed them. They pass through the
best giraffe country in Africa. Great on
the ground photography as well. Next to
lion country. The lions accepted the huge plane and their peculiar markings of
giraffe spots and zebra stripes
as merely a part of
the scenery. The
photographers next find themselves in a district thick with rhino. One rhino
charges the airplane but then decides the plane is bigger. Finding the decorated plane too much of a puzzle, the rhino moves along. Also in rhino country are the
people if the Masai tribe in the midst of a strange ceremony. Rhinoceros had
been killing
their cattle, and lately two old women of the tribe had been gored
to death, so these warriors decided to chase the rhinos from their territory.
The natives have an intense hatred for the rhino, who disregard their property
and viciously kill their families. It was a grim fight. Hour after hour, charge
after counter-charge, the rhins are gradually pushed on and away from the Masai
villages. Moving on, the photographers found beautiful rivers, great cataracts
and waterfalls. An entire family of elephants head for
the forest and the dense jungle. A tropical storm threatens the safety of the flight crew and the plane
lands in Pygmy country They
are greeted and the tribe puts
on their
finest dance
to celebrate the great mechanical bird

GAUMONT GRAPHIC (1918-1919) Clips from early newsreels
The first regular newsreels were issued in 1912. By 1919, there were a number in
distribution in the U.S. But other than for the names "Pathe" and "Universal",
none carried through to the fading days of the newsreel which followed the
advent of television in the late 1940's and early 1950's. Gaumont, a British
company, was one of
the popular sources for dramatic and factual films for
the nickelodeans in the years before W.W. 1. With the coming of the War,
production in England virtually ceased, and American activity was limited to
little more than the newsreels bearing the company name. Released on a State's
rights basis, most of these shown are from either
late 1918 or 1919.San Diego, CA - visitor's day on warships; U.S.S. "Minneapolis" returns from the

THE INNOCENT YEARS Chapter 4"The Nation Matures"
This episode begins with the worst earthquake ever recorded hitting
San Francisco, followed by fire that made a double catastrophe. Later in Ohio
and Indiana, some of the worst floods in American history follow in the wake of
storm and tornado. Political upheavals visit the American scene with Theodore
Roosevelt's return in June, 1910. Later, Wilson is elected president after a
three-way battle with Taft and Roosevelt. Wilson orders American troops to the
Mexican boarder. Don't you wish they were still there today? National guardsmen
and regular Army troops head for the Rio Grande. Their mission is to pursue and
capture the Mexican revolutionary leader Pancho Villa who has been raiding
across the boarder, killing American soldiers and civilians, destroying American
property. Brigadier General John J. Pershing leads the attack. For the first
time, the airplane is put into action by the Army. The Air Force had not yet
been created. The Great War in Europe overtakes the importance of Villa and the
Army is reassigned. Wilson & Roosevelt speak of the upcoming war as the innocent
years close.

JEFFERSON’S MONTICELLO
1977, A WRC-TV Community Affairs Presentation, 24m., 30s., color. Produced and
written by Bill Leonard; directed by George Light;
Thomas Jefferson portrayed in narratives from his diary by Peter Lambard;
narrated by Phil Gaines.
Featuring extensive footage shot at the house, gardens, and plantation of
Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's mountaintop home, this superb short subject
examines his career in civil service in the context of the design and
construction of the magnificent Monticello, started in Charlottesville, Virginia
in 1768. Many excellent detailed shots of the architecture as well as many of
the furnishings that were
special. A good used original print on Kodak stock from 1979 with a sharp image,
good contrast, a fine soundtrack, and decent SP (low fade) color
"The strongest reason for the
people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against
the tyranny of government."
Thomas Jefferson
That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not
afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by
tyrants.
John Kennedy once said to an assembled group of scholars in the White House "
I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge,
that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of
when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
The quotes below could prove his point.
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall
become as corrupt as Europe. - Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing
to work and give to those who would not. - Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle
which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. - Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness
for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the
people under the pretense of taking care of them. -
Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too
much government. - Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. - Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms
is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. -
Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants. - Thomas Jefferson
"Were it left to me whether we should have a government without newspapers, or
newspapers without a government, I would not hesitate for a moment to prefer
the latter."
Thomas Jefferson
Very Interesting Quote: In light of the present financial crisis, it's
interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: "Banking institutions
are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people
ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by
inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up
around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
Doesn't this sound eerily familiar to what is happening in America today?

KINOGRAMS
A collector's edition edited from items in several issues of Kinograms from the
early 1920's.
Kinograms appeared on the scene about the same time as W.W.1 first being
released through the exchanges of World Film Corporation. Then, in late 1919,
distribution was shifted to Selznick Corporation's Republic exchanges. By 1927,
most important studios such as Paramount and M.G.M. introduced their own
newsreels. The impact on Kinograms was fatal and by the dawn of sound they were
gone from the screen. Highlights of this reel include; Sir Thomas Lipton and his
fast Yachts, Army Airplane smashed to bits; with motors running at full speed,
they dash down incline and crash into wall; Army conducts these tests at Wilbur
Wright Field to try and find way to prevent fires and explosions that follow
plane crashes. Whole fleet of tugs dock holiday liners; New York Harbor
-fighting winds and tide sturdy crafts bring ocean trip
to

orphans return home from Turkey after years in exile. King and Queen open

LIFE IN THE THIRTIES Vol. 1 "The Coming of the New Deal"
The coming of the new deal covers the 1930's from the beginning of the
depression until the re-election of F.D.R. in 1936. There are bread lines, the
new poor, farm
prices
are down and farmers are discontent. Banks failed and
15,000 unemployed war veterans march on Washington D.C. Roosevelt is elected and
manipulates the country with his fireside chats. There was the Agricultural
adjustment act, the Public Works Administration, an avalanche of new offices and
agencies as the
Democrats ballooned the expansion of government into private
lives everywhere with work programs like the NRA, the Blue Eagle, the C.C.C. and
more socialism.
There was the "dust bowl", the "Oakies" and "demigogs" like Huey

past. First story; "peace at last! New York celebrates the Armistice in November
1918. Cheering crowds, flags and newspaper headlines of "Germany Surrenders" are

loan rally as he sings George M. Cohan's "Over There". In sports, Tex Rickard

MISSISSIPPI SHOWBOAT
As the depression and talking movies together pushed Mississippi
showboats into their final days. Movietone produced this nostalgic and charming
glimpse of the river life which had been American legend since the time of Mark
Twain. Here is one of those gaudy crafts which docks to
the cries of "Here comes the Showboat!", and to excitement from the old and
young alike. The actor's double in brass, with the leading man on the calliope
and the villain in the box office, while the audience gathers and the curtain
goes up. Until this point, the film has been silent , accompanied by a gutsy and
evocative musical score. But now direct sound cameras record a few minutes of
melodrama which was old when "The Black Crook" was young. It's corny stuff, but
the picturesque people who have flocked to the levee just love it.

NAVAJO NIGHT WITCH
Here's a nice little documentary produced by George and William Allen. Men who
study race migrations say that the Navaho of the Painted Desert is a Mongol who,
ages ago, crossed Siberia- then the ice flows of the Bering Sea stopped in
Alaska a long time - and finally wandered slowly down the Pacific Coast to his
present home. Scenes of their day-to-day life are shown. A winter "hogan" built
of earth and logs with the door always facing east as protection against
the cold west winds. The "hogan" was designed to blend in with it's surroundings
as a protective measure against attack. Valued for the closeness of weave and
originality of design, the Navajo blanket is considered by collectors to be the
most artistic of all Indian blankets. Deft hands creating a design which shall
tell with a striking primitive power, the hope, longings, prayers and
aspirations of the weaver. The men, women and children wear their hair in a
double knot at the back of their head. Sheep and goats graze the plains and
mesas, tended by the children. Also profiled is "Grey Hat", an ancient warrior
104 years old. His deeds as scout under Kit Carson, during the Apache war are
legend. Turquoise necklaces, hammered silver coin buttons, buckles and bracelets
are among the ornaments worn by the Navajo. As with all primitives, superstition
plays a large part in the life of the Navajo. The gentle baby owl or "Night
Witch" is supposed to harbor an evil spirit. So, the family decide that the
young boy who has made a pet of the owl must return it to it's nest. Holding
their customs, tribal laws and religion with courage against the fatal
influences of a civilization they do not understand, these Arabs of the Sun live
currently as in the dateless past.

CORONATION OF QUEEN ELIZABETH
Elizabeth II was crowned on June, 2, 1953, despite having acceded to the throne
on Feb, 2, 1952, the instant her father died. British law states that the throne
is not left vacant and the new monarch succeeds the old immediately. The
ceremony is performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the most senior cleric of
the Church of England. Other clergy and members of the nobility also have a part
in this; most participants in the ceremony are required to wear ceremonial
uniforms or robes. Many other government officials and guests attend, including
representatives of foreign countries. The essential elements of the coronation
have remained largely unchanged for the past thousand years. The sovereign is
first presented to, and acclaimed by, the people. He or she then swears an oath
to uphold the law and the Church. Following that, the monarch is anointed with
oil, crowned, and invested with the regalia, before receiving the homage of his
or her subjects.
This is a Castle Films release from the 1952-era.

THE TRUE GLORY - Chapter 4 "The Liberation of Paris"
Photographed by combat cameramen of the United States, Canada, France, Poland,
Belgium, Netherlands, Czecho-Slovakia, Norway and Great Britain.
After a decisive breakthrough, the Allied Strategists moved swiftly. American
armor was to drive east and northeast to surround and take the German Caen
divisions
in the rear. But with characteristic speed, the enemy moved all
available armor and reserves from the Caen area hoping to cut behind our
breakout troops. A great force exploded toward Mortain and on August 7th the
enemy began a fierce counterattack. For six hours, non stop, the RAF pounded the
German armor heading west. Take-off, attack, land, re-fuel, re-arm and take-off
again! Allied plans moved forward. The U.S. 9th Air Force and the RAF destroyed
great numbers of enemy vehicles. Equipped with rocket-firing devices, the RAF
Typhoons made low flying attacks which were of vast assistance to the Allied
infantry. Thousands of Germans surrendered as they were caught in the gap which
the Allies were closing swiftly. Great aerial photography of these bombing raids
here! American tanks continued their rapid advance toward Paris and the upper
Seine. Before the advancing Allied troops, the Germans were fleeing helter
skelter in retreat along side the roads littered with their smoldering gear. A
well delineated map is a must
for a modern mechanized army traveling at high
speed. However, the Allies were moving so swiftly they kept going right off the
map! And still our tanks rolled on into the unscarred country. Finally, 10 tons
of maps had to be dropped by parachute to reach the advancing forces! In the
words of one French soldier, "We, in the LeClerc Division, were fighting in the
Normandy fields when suddenly the order came! Go to Paris, it said, ad take it".
The division started rushing the roads at 4 a.m. with the American Air Forces
protecting the skies. At the beginning of August, Paris was seized by rumors.
The one thing that could be confirmed was that the Germans were beginning to
leave
the city. When the free French forces inside Paris began staging their
uprisings, the Allies moved quickly to their support. French flags began to
appear at every window! General de Gaulle, as the symbol of French resistance
made a triumphant entry. On August 25th the German garrison commander in Paris
surrendered. The liberation of Paris had a great impact on people everywhere.
The enemy had lost 400,000 --captured, killed or wounded. Their material losses
were tremendous. But the German Army had not
yet reached the stage of mass
collapse.

Photographed by combat cameramen of the United States, Canada, France, Poland,

All during the Battle of the Bulge, Allied strategists continued their plans for
final offensive blows. After the Germans were effectively curbed in the bulge,
men and supplies moved rapidly toward the west bank of the Rhine. The Allied
drive for final victory was on! The air forces were waging an effective drive on
the east bank of
the Rhine. But
the Germans had blown many bridges before
retreating. When the assaulting Americans reached the river at Remagen on March
7th, they were amazed to find that the Ludendorff Bridge was still standing. By
March 9th, the Remagen bridgehead area had been enlarged until it was more than
three miles deep. In the North, Montgomery executed a brilliant assault on the
Rhine. Crossings were made by boat during the night of March 23rd. An airborne
attack followed the next morning.
The success of Montgomery's operation sealed
the fate of the enemy. Allied engineers quickly installed floating Treadway
bridges across the Rhine. One of our finest pieces of equipment, these bridges
were capable of sustaining tremendous military loads. Because of its great
industrial potential, the Ruhr pocket was the first big objective across the
Rhine. According to one American pilot. "We in the heavies sealed it off. Then
the ground forces wrapped it up". By April 1st, the Rhur was completely
surrounded and its garrison was trapped. Prisoners of war are rescued. Marching
deeper into Germany, many of our troops met hordes of displaced persons from
allover Europe. Ike, after seeing the horrors of concentration camps urges
an inquiry into Nazi brutality.

ANTARCTIC ADVENTURE
This was adapted from the U. S. Navy motion picture "Operation Deepfreeze".
Highest and coldest continent in the world, Antarctica is larger than the
United States and Europe combined. Yet less than one third of this vast
continent had ever been explored. Prior to his death in 1957, Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd, USN, was United States Antarctic Programs Officer directing
operations in preparation for the Georphysical Year. The Navy was assigned to
give logistic support. Task force 43 was organized to implement the operation,
code named Operation Deep freeze. The major objectives were to establish a main
I. G. Y base near the site of Little America and an air facility at McMurdo
Sound. The other objectives were to investigate Marie Byrd Land and the South
Pole for good scientific observation posts and provide logistic support for U.
S. participation in I. G. Y. (This is a government film so they expect us to
know what the hell I. G. Y. stands for!)

LAND OF THE NILE
Produce by Carl W. Dudley. Here in Egypt, ancient cradle of many civilizations,
a 20th century plane stands out in dramatic contrast to the camel caravan, which
outdates man's memory. Five times each day, faithful Mohammedans face to Mecca
for prayer---a ritual they have been performing for centuries. Capital of all
Egypt, Cairo is a thoroughly metropolitan city with it's world-famous
Shepheard's Hotel...its new emphasis on modern architecture...it's faithful
adherence to the minarets and mosques of ancient times. Along the narrow streets
of the Bazaar District, artisans ply their trades. Merchants of every
nationality display their wares. One of the world's most important inter-ocean
waterways, the Suez Canal controls much of the destiny of the Middle East and
beyond. Speeding by rail through the Nile Valley, we see a countryside of
irrigated, well-cultivated fields. Even before the Greeks became a nation,
Egypt's civilization was already old and rich. Many of the hieroglyphics have
been translated, adding much to our knowledge of the ancient Pharaohs and the
people they ruled. Along the banks of the Nile River, the massive temples and
columns of Luxor give evidence of ancient man's engineering genius. Also shown
are the pyramids and the mighty Sphinx. It is believed that some 100,000 slaves
spent 20 years building this architectural triumph but the secret of its
construction has disappeared with the ages.

GALIPACHI (c 1955) featuring Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Howard Morris
and Nanette Faberet
This is a complete segment skit from what is probably "Caesar's Hour". It is a
musical opera parody sung in gibberish by the stars doing a "Pagliachi "
take-off. The sond is about 2 seconds off though, with the singing gibberish,
it's not as noticeable as if it were regular dialogue. Some unintentional humor
arises during short exchanges when you hear Nanette Faberet's voice coming from
Sid Caesar's mouth and visa versa!
16mm Sound / b&w /approximately 15 minutes/ L.N. shape-
sound is about 2 second late, so priced accordingly....................$10

there is the usual songs, jokes and rhymes in this puppet show.

to wine and dine a female customer for the agency because she has a crush on

complicate this bedroom farce-style comedy, Margie has two dates scheduled
also between rival boyfriends whom she must entertain in separate rooms. So
with help from neighbor Mrs. Odettes, a series of phone and doorbell signals
send Vern and Margie scampering into different rooms to entertain two dinner

at the Honeywell Agency and becomes convinced that he is being phased out by
the boss, Mr. Honeywell who is actually only grooming the young man to be
relocated to an office in Dallas. Mr. Honeywell thinks it best if Vern keeps
on thinking that he's on the bubble. Perkins only weakness is reading lurid
mystery stories so, Margie and Vern's girl friend Hillary Brooke, conspire
to create a fake mystery that causes the young man to get on the wrong
side of Mr. Honeywell. Good fun as Margie and Hillary run loose in the
office building and in the home of Mr. Honeywell. The plot works but then

posing as maid and butler to hide the fact they are home early. It gets
complicated when Mr. Honeywell finds out and must produce a fake Vern
Albright for the client, Donald McBride. Then, McBride gets wind of
the whole scheme and turns it back on Vern and Mr. Honeywell. Typical zany
sit-com plot that is carried off perfectly by a first rate cast.

ATTENTION 8mm &
16mm Collectors!
Here's the
reference guide and historical book you've always wanted!
Do you remember the
first movie you ever owned? It was probably a product of Castle
Films. Before home video, Castle Films made every living room a
screening room.
For four decades
the 16mm and 8mm film products of Castle Films were sold in every
department store and hobby shop. Castle had big-screen movies for
everybody: comedies with Abbott & Costello, The Marx Brothers, and
W. C. Fields...monster movies with Frankenstein, Dracula, and the
Wolfman...cartoons with Woody Woodpecker, Chilly Willy, and Mighty
Mouse...westerns with Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and James
Stewart...travelogues of the world's picturesque
places...newsreels of major headline stories...musicals with top
singers and bandleaders.
Collectors have
always wanted a reference book detailing the total output of
Castle Films. Here it is. Castle Films: A Hobbyist's Guide is a
complete filmography of every title printed between 1937 and 1977.
For handy reference, there are separate indexes by title, subject,
and serial number, a listing of Castle's color film releases, and
a special section "decoding" Castle's various pseudonym titles and
disclosing the "true identities" of many films.
Castle Films: A
Hobbyist's Guide is a fascinating, nostalgic look at one of the
pioneers of home entertainment.
Collectors have always
wanted a reference book detailing the complete 40-year filmography
of Castle Films. This is it.
TO PURCHASE, go to BarnesandNoble.com then type "Castle Flms" in
the search and you will get all the information you need to
purchase this great book! A-1video.com highly recommends this to
all film buffs and home movie collectors
