Strange Deception (Excelsa Films; Casino Film Exchange) opens with a striking sequence: a vast, uninterrupted aerial shot as the camera, slowly swooping down for several miles over the bare, cradling hills of Tuscany, finally comes to rest on the figures of two men on a mountaintop...
...there are few upsets now, when the river is smooth and the sun is warm on the bare-backed senior scullers. They are taking full advantage of the privilege of guiding their sleek new sculls, with red tipped oars dipping almost noiselessly, for quiet miles up and down the river, past the ivied Houses, past sunbathers, and through bridgees -- almost as much of the spring scene as the river itself.The boat house, which builds its own shells, also maintains facilities for repairing them. Boat-builder "ANDY" ANDERSON is shown inspecting a damaged wherry...
...straight for Blackfriars Bridge. Girls screamed, bowler hats ducked, but, with inches to spare, the Mad Major leveled out, missed Blackfriars, and with wheels brushing the water, skimmed upstream towards Waterloo Bridge.

He jinked past a river steamer, circled the county-council hall and swooshed under Westminster...

They opened the two large veins carrying blood to it, and slipped in plastic tubes which drained the blood away to the artificial heart-lung. There, one pump drew in the blood. Another speeded it to an oxygen chamber, where it flowed over a set of metal grids like the plates in a storage battery. Electronic controls kept the flow rate...
...signs of Negro prosperity are everywhere. On the rooftops of Manhattan's Harlem grows that bare, ugly forest of TV antennae which has become a new symbol of middle-class achievement. On the outskirts of Atlanta are shiny new Negro housing developments (financed by Southern whites), with built-in washing machines. Yet the streets of Harlem are still largely slum streets, and a few blocks from the Atlanta apartments stand the old clapboard huts with outdoor privies. Where should one look for the real direction of the Negro economy...
