Somewhere, long ago, he had seen a century- old newsreel of such an exodus.

I have not seen or heard any recordings of this whilst watching the old newsreel footage.

He had never seen anything like it, except in movies, or old newsreels.

You see it happening in old newsreels of the Rockettes.

The atmosphere is captured in old newsreels of couples dancing out on the Fairway through the summer evenings.

Frenetically, in fact, so that they look like one of those old newsreels with too few frames per second.

But films that seemed worthless soon after they were made - old newsreels, for example - are now priceless windows into the past.

The footage ranges from old newsreels, including some amazing film of combat from both sides, to modern shots of the still-surviving Spitfires in action today.
