Winter Olympics (Universal Newsreel, Feb 1952)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. WINTER OLYMPICS: OSLO - More Olympic thrills! Latest film highlights from the Winter Games at Oslo include the men's slalom, and the speed skating at Bislett Stadium, where Norway's Hjalmar Andersen wins three gold medals, an Olympic record. The slalom is packed with speed and thrills, and near misses from catastrophe. 2. CARNIVAL TIME - All over the world the pre-Lenten season is the signal for merry-making and revelry. In Vienna seamstresses are busy with holiday costumes and in Viareggio, Italian artisans bend their craftsmanship to the making of the papier-mâché figures which adorn their festival. 3. SPORTSWEAR: ENGLAND - British designers put the emphasis on costumes pour le sport. There are fetching numbers for beach and outdoor wear with a distinctly feminine touch. 4A/B. ROUGH RODEO: PALM SPRINGS, CA - The broncs and bulls give the cow pokes a hard time as they go into high gear in one of California's most fashionable hoss events. / STOCK CAR RACES: DAYTONA, FL - It's a jarrin', joltin' jaloppy contest as the stock car race attracts drivers who just don't care, and turnover is terrific.
