...producer, who began his career in his teens with a homemade newsreel camera, has never made a complete movie in Hollywood and has no use for the place. After producing four of his films for 20th Century-Fox, Individualist de Rochemont clashed with Individualist Darryl F. Zanuck, the studio's boss, over publicity and screen credits.

As he talks, the camera may switch to an animated war map, or a newsreel film of U.S. troops in action. Sometimes there is a quick jump to Washington, London or Rome for filmed shots of political headliners and recorded interviews. After more news films -supplied by over 50 NBC cameramen cattered from Seville to Seoul-the show goes to Chicago for the weather forecast with...
