★★★ · Newsreel About a World's Fair When Both Newsreels and World's Fairs Were on the Wane · Christine Hennig · 2006-04-23
Newsreel story about Expo 67, a huge worlds fair that unfortunately opened during the days when worlds fairs were waning, so you dont hear much about it today. The typical scenes of modern architecture, opening ceremonies, and carnival rides are shown. By 1967, newsreels were almost dead, giving this a double swan-song quality. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: **. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.
