Report From Vietnam (Universal Newsreel, Feb 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: REPORT FROM VIETNAM The frustrating war in Vietnam is not only a battle against the Vietcong but against another formidable enemy...the jungle! It is a series of minor battles, small pockets of action like the one pictured here. Loyal government troops flush the Red rebels from foxholes near Saigon and kill 82 with the loss of 8 government men. SNOW CAN BE BEAUTIFUL In Japan they don't just sit around a hot hibachi and wait for s-p-r-i-n-g when it snows. They hold a festival with towering ice sculptures that attracts people from all over the nation. It's a sad day when warm weather arrives and the show goes down the drain. "STRANGE BEDFELLOW" MEANS BEAUTY The world premiere of the new Universal comedy, "STRANGE BEDFELLOWS" is a gala affair in Florida. They dedicate a new plush theatre in Hollywood, Florida and hold a beauty contest to select "Miss Gina" - named for the picture's star. Gina Lollobrigida. Gig Young, who is also in "STRANGE BEDFELLOWS," does the honors for the beauty winner. SPORTS TRACK RECORDS FALL IN TWO MEETS The indoor track season jumps off to a record start on both the East and West Coast. Mary Rand of Britain sets a new broad-jump record in Los Angeles, beating the old mark by more than a foot. In New York, Tom Farrell sets a new record in the Half-Mile race as he battles Bill Crothers of Toronto down the wire. His new mark topples the record held by speedster Peter Snell of New Zealand.
