WE DON'T HAVE TO TRUNDLE ANY CUMBERSOME SOUND TRUCKS around the world — because all we need is a light camera with which our cameraman can reach seemingly impossible spots in record time. WE GIVE YOU ALL THE SPEED OF THE OLD SILENT NEWSREELS, PLUS the vibrant voice of Graham McNamee — the ace of the National Broadcasting Company's broadcasters.
