Excellent

Watch this feature from Movietone News for lots of good stuff (Hula hoops in Poland! Sputnik!) but mostly for the coverage of Castro's triumphant entry into Havana at the end of the Cuban revolution. I remember the year this film was made and I remember great enthusiasm and support for Castro in this country, to be followed by half a century of buyer's remorse, and counting (unless you still have a Che poster in your bedroom, in which case viva that).
