Under the direction of Producer-Director Milton Fruchtman, a crew of 25 worked nights for two months to get 25 miles of film and 650 still pictures, using a camera atop a 64-foot-high movable aluminum tower. Both the script and the overall editing are the work of a former TIME art critic, Alexander Eliot. Now a freelance writer of magazine articles and an author of books...
