Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Marshal Tito Interviewed. DESCRIPTION: Built beside the River Danube, the ancient city of Belgrade (modern Yugoslavia’s Capital) presents a picture of particular interest, for it offers a picture of a glimpse of a country in Eastern Europe, which is to-day the focus of curiosity for Western eyes. Marshal Tito’s friendlier attitude towards the West is well illustrated by an interview taken by a Movietone unit, specially admitted to Yugoslavia for the purpose. He answered questions put to him by Helen Fisher of United Press through an interpreter. Marshal Tito also spoke in English, which he had studiously learnt for the occasion. SHOTLIST: Cut story - KS.
