1/4. Broadcast #OTD in 1971: The Emmy Award-winning CBS Reports: The Selling of the Pentagon with #RogerMudd. Watch it here: ImageImageImage
2/4. "What is perhaps the Pentagon's most ambitious film..." RED NIGHTMARE (1962) received its biggest audience when CBS ran its news special "The Selling of the Pentagon" #OTD in 1971. See how the clips are used at about the 27:28 mark: ImageImageImage
3/4. In 1985, in the dark ages before the Internet and YouTube, @Rhino_Records's video division introduced RED NIGHTMARE (1962) to the VHS generation. I rented THE COMMIES ARE COMING! THE COMMIES ARE COMING! from VideoSmith in Boston. Note the brilliant #DrewFriedman cover art. ImageImageImage
