| Summary: | Originally produced as a newsreel by Time Magazine, The March of Time was seen monthly for sixteen years in more than 50,000 theatres around the world. Content: 1. Atomic Power -- Exciting historic footage of the creation of the atomic bomb, on film for the first time. Included are interviews and anecdotes from such legendary figures as Albert Einstein, Dr. Conant and Dr. Bush. 2. The Russia Nobody Knows. -- Exclusive, uncensored motion pictures from behind the Iron Curtain! March of Time's cameraman has photographed the Russian people in their daily lives, just as he found them. Here is the chance to see them as they really are -- at work, at worship and at play. 3. The Cold War: Act I -- France -- See how the French people are dealing with post-war life. The Communists are ousted by Premier Robert Schumann, and we see a sample of the frugal way of city life through the eyes of the DuBois family. Their farming relatives fare slightly better; but if the middle-of-the-road policy is to work, the Marshall Plan must be implemented. 4. The Cold War: Act II. -- Crisis in Italy. A hard-hitting, realistic film vividly showing the vital importance of the U.s. Government's European Recovery Plan. This film gives us the shocking truth about the number of Communists in Italy, plus reasons for their success and strength. 5. The Cold War: Act III. -- Battle for Greece. A country torn by conflicting powers. March of Time takes a look at the U.S. and British efforts to bring aid to this ravaged country, through the American Mission for Aid to Greece, and their help in the reconstruction of agriculture, foreign trade and home industries.
