___ A CBS archive film from 1970? ___ Found it... Thanks Brutuskend :) ___

[Blain]

This is a long shot, I know. But would someone here know how to obtain CBS archival films? I've sent an e-mail to the CBS feedback address, but haven't heard anything from it.

The archive film I'm looking for is a 1970 CBS News Special, "The World of Charlie Company". The special followed a company of soldiers while they served in Vietnam. The journalist embedded in the company was John (Jack) Laurence, who later wrote "The Cat From Hue".

Thanks

It's my understanding that a lot of TV shows/tapes were never saved by the networks, that's why there's no film of the first Superbowl I think it was? Anyway not sure what dates that applies to but it's probably a longshot.

I know someone who works at CBS, and they do have a place they keep archives, but 1970 might be pushing it. If you want to get anythign done - never e-mail. Call them.

Tell that to my uncle and grandfather.

Go the the video section of the public library and check out videos made by CBS on the Vietnam war. You might get what you need.

Check here
Or here

Doesn't look like your library has it.

Look around here a bit though and you may track it down.

Brutuskend,
You are a "Super Genius"! Or is it a search engine that endows you with your powers?

A few clicks and $25.48 in PayPal funds and the whole Vietnam War VHS set is mine

Thanks so much!
