More then newsreels
This film is a publicity film from the makers of the well-known Polygon newsreels in the Netherlands. With this information film, the makers wanted to convince potential clients.
Polygoon profility was a direct competitor of Joop Geesink's Star film at the time.
This production shows that Polygoon not only made news reports, but also corporate films and even trickery. That is also the reason that this film is being shown. It gives a good impression of the way of working in the early 1950s. The Geesink studios worked in a similar way with similar equipment.
Trivia
