"World's Fair Report"
Twenty-three episodes of this weekly television series that aired on New York's WNYC-TV prior to the opening of the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair and beyond are presented for you in a six-volume set. Each episode is approximately 30 minutes long and each volume contains three or four episodes.
Hosted by the Fair's Vice-president of Communications, these shows contain interviews with both World's Fair Officials and exhibitor representatives. They offer the viewer of wealth of information regarding the contents of many of the pavilions and a behind-the-scenes view of what went into the creation of a show and how the World's Fair was put together.
