Nixons Arrive and Depart San Francisco on Asian Trip (1950)

★★★ · I'm not a... · Wilford B. Wolf · 2005-03-13

Brief Universal newsreel story, c. 1955, where Mr. & Mrs. Richard Nixon head off to East Asia from San Francisco. Some good shots of Nixon waving to the press and from the top of boarding ramp. Unfortunately, for this short clip, there are a few missing frames, so the narration does jump in a couple places.

Tricky Dick and his goofy wife, this is when he was Vice president mind you, go off on a good will trip to the ¡®difficult¡¯ Far East! It¡¯s fun to see him so young and relaxed.
