Here's an interesting new online resource: In its years as America's leading purveyor of infotainment, Fox Movietone generated some 75 million feet of newsreel film and outtakes. The University of South Carolina has managed to get their hands on some 11 million feet of that, including all outtakes from 1919-1934 - and, as anyone knows, there is often much more of historical interest in what someone didn't want you to see than in what they did. In addition, the university possesses complete reels from September, 1942 to August 1944, with a lot of WWII action. On the site, you can watch RealPlayer files of the Navy dirigible Los Angeles and its blimp escorts as it cruises over New York City in 1929, an air show crash in Spokane in 1944, and Adolf Hitler at a 1932 rally. http://www.sc.edu/newsfilm/index.html (Blurb from Netsurfer Digest, vol. 5: http://www.netsurf.com/nsd) ---- Jeremy Butler [log in to unmask] ScreenSite http://www.tcf.ua.edu/ScreenSite Telecommunication & Film/University of Alabama/Tuscaloosa ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.tcf.ua.edu/ScreenSite
