Operation Holly, Bob Hope USO Christmas Show Part 1

Description

Bob Hope's USO show in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam. First half of reel is silent outdoor shots of audience/crowd. Servicemen make up the bulk of the crowd and they are on top of trucks, on telephone poles, and sitting on ground. There are a couple of nuns (light blue habits) and priests in audience laughing and smiling. There are a few signs up one by the 37th and another about the "High 'Chaparral'". The second half of film is at night and Bob Hope goes thru a monologue about Cam Ranh Bay and introduces the expected acts. Mr. Hope is followed by the Honey Limited, a 12 woman singing group. The night show is located in the "Cam Ranh Bay, Robert E. Pugh, Memorial Amphitheater." Sign of theater constantly in background.
