Highlights of Khrushchev's Tour (Universal Newsreel, Sep 1959)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. HIGHLIGHTS OF KHRUSHCHEV'S TOUR - Highlights of Nikita Khrushchev's historic, hectic, tour of America. In New York, at the United Nations, he broaches a new disarmament plan, calling for total abandonment of the means to make war, under international control. Then a whirlwind tour of the city, before flying to Los Angeles, where he meets and clashes with Mayor Poulsen–and a star-studded Hollywood luncheon, where he clashes with Spyros Skouras. Afterwards, he heads north, by special train, still chafing at heavy security measures that hamper his wishes, on to new welcomes, new clashes and new headlines. 2A/B. FABULOUS FLOTILLA - At Freiburg, Germany, an international get-together of small boat builders, whose craft, only inches long, show incredible precision and craftsmanship. Ultra-realistic in appearance, they perform remarkable feats under remote control by their owners on the shore. / PRISON RODEO - The annual McAlester, Oklahoma prison rodeo, roughest and toughest of 'em all, with fiery broncs and snortin' Brahmas meting out cruel and unusual punishment to the stripe-wearing riders. A thrill-packed spectacle.
