Скачать или смотреть Exeter History Minute - Louis de Rochemont

In June 1941, producer and New Hampshire resident Louis de Rochemont came to Exeter to film a “March of Time” newsreel about pre-war New England; he returned 10 years later with a film crew and famous actors. In this episode, Barbara explores de Rochemont’s time in Exeter and how our little town is cast to represent small-town America in both the newsreel and a Hollywood movie, "The Whistle at Eaton Falls". This Exeter History Minute is made possible by a grant from the Dan Brown Charitable Foundation, a fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.
