The note
By the mid-fifties the newsreel is competing with the thing that will kill it, and you can hear the strain: shorter items, brighter delivery, more sport and novelty. It remains a remarkable weekly index of what was considered news.
Universal Newsreel, twice weekly in American cinemas from 1929 to 1967. Universal gave the entire library to the public in 1974 and it is held by the National Archives, so these are public domain outright rather than by lapse of renewal. What plays here is the reel’s soundtrack — narration, music bed and location sound.
