Description by OLDIES.com:

Between 1929 and 1967, Universal-International newsreels were released twice weekly, many narrated by famed announcer Ed Herlihy. It was almost impossible to attend a motion picture that was not preceded by one. Top production crews traversed the nation and the globe to bring the leading stories in politics, entertainment, sports as well as national and global affairs, back to eager audiences.

Highlights from this collection include:

  • Rebels Rally To Support Castro
  • White Sox Vs. Dodgers In First-Ever World Series On The West Coast
  • Denver Model Homes Feature Built-In Fallout Shelters
  • Hawaii Becomes 50th State
  • "Titan" Missile Launches From Cape Canaveral
  • 40th Birthday Of The Shah Of Iran
  • Vice-President Richard M. Nixon Visits USSR
  • Stars Come Out For U.S. Premiere Of Russian Film "The Cranes Are Flying"
  • 2 Space Monkeys, "Baker" and "Able" First Living Beings To Survive Space Flight

...and much more!!
