Summit Crisis (Universal Newsreel, May 1960)

Description

The original release sheet reads: SUMMIT CRISIS The Big Four arrive in Paris to commence the Summit talks amid a pessimistic mood. Khrushchev continues the angry, tough talk he began at the Moscow exhibit of the wrecked U-2 spy plane, and gloomy predictions seem justified when he clashes with Ike verbally and withdraws his invitation to President Eisenhower to visit Russia. On its first day, the Summit meeting is apparently torpedoed by Khrushchev. FRANCE LAUNCHES NEW LINER France launches the newest super-liner, the world's longest, proudly bearing the name "S.S. FRANCE." Christened by Mme De Gaulle, the 1,035 foot craft will carry 2,000 passengers, France's bid for eminence on the North Atlantic blue ribbon run. "OTHELLO" OPENS IN NEW YORK The Soviet film version of "OTHELLO" opens in New York, one of the highlights of the Soviet-American cultural exchange program. Top stars of stage and screen attend the Gotham premiere which drey critical applause. CONTINENTAL FASHION PARADE Thirty leading designers from eleven nations stage a combined show on the Continent, and camera magic takes the troupe of models and the dazzling collection on a whirlwind tour of Europe's most scenic and most famous settings to showcase the fabulous fashions. COUNTESS ADIOS WINS MESSENGER STAKE At Roosevelt Raceway, Countess Adios, driven by Del Miller, gives one of the most thrilling performances in harness racing annals to take the rich first prize money of over $71,000 coming up on the outside to win going away.
