Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: News in Colour Expo ‘70. DESCRIPTION: Movietone takes a long look at Japan’s astonishing Expo ‘70 near Osaka - the greatest world exposition every held. Join us on a tour of the major pavilions - spectacular in design and as different as the 79 nations taking part. The British Pavilion visited by Japanese Royalty gives scenes of this country at work and play. Monorail trains, moving sidewalks, observation gondolas provided to ease the strain of walking round the 800 acre site. A futuristic fun-fair to thrill both children and adults. It would take a week to see everything - but a tour of Expo ‘70 is a trip round the world. SHOTLIST: Sabena Boeing 707 takes off. Air to air Boeing in flight. CU passenger, view through porthole.
