A Bizarre Newsreel Edit
In a newsreel from 1952 an item about the potential of the H-bomb to end civilization is followed by a fluffy, fashion story featuring Mamie Van Doren in her new summer outfit. The deep-voiced narrator changes from his important voice to his fun voice instantly. An extraordinary moment of tasteless editing.
