“The international archives of Movietone News constitute the largest collection of photographs in the world, more than two billion stills, form which the six hundred photographs in this volume have been selected.  Movietone Presents the 20^th Century does just that: the wars, fashions, personalities, news events, technology, fads and follies of three generations.  The cameras caught the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the coronation of Queen Elizabeth, the rise of Hitler, the destruction of the Hindenbug, a wistful Marilyn Monroe and much, much more.”
