(6/6) RARE 1964 NBC COLOR TV SPECIAL - "A World's Fair Diary" with Edwin Newman

Part 6 of 6. Relive an inside look at the 1964/65 New York World's Fair in this NBC TV Special from 1964 "A World's Fair Diary", with Edwin Newman. See Edwin take you on a first hand tour of the inside of many attractions featured in the fair. He tends more towards the off-the-beaten-path attractions moreso than the mainstays, but he gets a great glimpse of what was a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Sorry for the crappy quality. It was obviously shot in Eastmancolor. ;(

I don't know how you got this, but I'm glad you did and was generous enough to post it. Thank you!

You wouldn't happen to have the mid-1960s intro to NBC Saturday Night at the Movies, would you?

[musicom67]

@dagwort Nope. Everything I have - I upload :)

Thanks, so much of the stuff there I forgot about, being young, when the future looked bright

Thanks so much for sharing this special! Living in Seattle, I've always been curious of other World's Fairs, with the 1939 being one of my favorites.

I went to the World's Fair in 1964. I know someone else whose family drove out to see it from the Midwest -- and slept in their car rather than getting a hotel room.

Rest in peace Edwin Newman.

Ps. There was another special air for two nights unless it was this one. Thanks again!

Thanks so much! I've been waiting many years to see this film since it was aired on NBC in 1964. Watching the people is so facinating. Prices are great. I recall my mother complaining that the entry was so high and the exhibit lines were as well.

Yes we also had a great time and went back in '65 but never got to the Ford pavillion, lines were insane.
