Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Winston Churchill Arrives to Lecture in New York. DESCRIPTION: But stays to be nursed by sympathetic New York, having mistimed his street crossings. SHOTLIST: Ext. Churchill faces camera talking: "It is 31 years since I last landed here. And then, as now, I was coming to lecture to the Americans. I’ve learned a lot in these 31 years. Many things have happened to the World and to both our countries but one thing that has lasted and grown throughout that long period has been the goodwill and good understanding between the English speaking people".
