Guide to the Motion Picture Collection of the HARRY S. TRUMAN LIBRARY Compiled by Pauline Testerman and Anita M. Smith and Raymond H. Geselbracht INTRODUCTION The motion picture collection of the Harry S. Truman Library comprises about 400 films (about 330,000 feet of film, running time about 175 hours) taken between 1934 and 1978. Almost all the Library's films are black and white, and over 90% are copyrighted. The collection includes films of Truman giving speeches, participating in ceremonies, and traveling; newsreels depicting Truman and the events of his presidency; documentaries, including the 26 part series entitled "Decision: The Conflicts of Harry S. Truman;" and interviews and program appearances, including Truman's appearance on the Jack Benny Show in 1959 and his interviews with Margaret Truman in 1955, with Edward R. Murrow in 1958, and with David Susskind in 1960. In the production "Let's Take a Trip," Truman gives two children a tour of the newly completed Harry S. Truman Library. The collection also includes films of several television appearances by Margaret Truman on such programs as the Jimmy Durante Show, the James Melton Show, and "What's My Line." The earliest film in the collection depicting President Truman is a home movie shot in 1937; it shows Mr. and Mrs. Truman at a family Christmas dinner. Only one other film shows Truman as U.S. Senator. Seven films show him as vice presidential candidate and Vice President; about 115 films show him as President; and about 215 films date from the years following his presidency. The last substantive film depicting Truman is of a presentation to him in 1966 of the first Medicare card by President Johnson. Very few films depict Mrs. Truman in a substantive way. The most important film showing her is a "Person-to-Person" program from 1955, in which Margaret Truman interviews her mother and father. Films are listed in chronological order, with films whose year (but not month or day) of origin only are known being listed at the end of that year's listings, and with films whose date of origin is completely unknown being listed at the end of the collection. Each listing includes a title or other functional designation, an accession number, a date (precise or approximate), the film format and duration, indication of who produced the film and of its copyright status, and a brief description of the film's subject matter. The copyright information given in this guide is believed to be accurate, though in some instances sufficient information does not exist to allow a definite determination of a film s copyright status. All of the films in the Truman Library's collection are available for viewing at the Library and for copying. The films are not loaned. Copies of copyrighted films can be made only with the written permission of the copyright holder. Scene by scene descriptions are available for almost all the films listed in this guide; copies of these descriptions are available from the Library.
