| Video Discription | The rise of superstars and the quest for fame, featuring Groucho, Raquel, and Cavet (if you don't know who they are, you need to watch this documentary); Arab Muslim terrorists attack the Olympics, killing Israeli athletes; Nixon in China, and in Ottawa (more Maggie Trudeau), and in Moscow; Governor George Wallace shot; Senator Eagleton's mental health issues and his spot on the McGovern Presidential ticket; the Watergate scandal; the rock revival on the music scene; Melvin Van Peebles; Ireland's Bloody Sunday riot; Howard Hughes and the Irving Wallace biography hoax; the growing health food and fitness awareness movement; Bobby Fischer and computers that play chess; the arms race; the Presidential candidacy of George McGovern; the Paris Peace talks for the Vietnam War; American troops coming home from the war; J. Edgar Hoover's and Harry S. Truman's deaths. The Sensational 70's, a ten-part Canadian documentary produced in 1979 by Philip S. Hobel, that looks at the highlights and curious sidelights of that famed decade. I grew up during the 1970s, so many of the people and the events were familiar to me, but you don't have to have lived through the 1970s to enjoy The Sensational 70's. Culled entirely from archival footage, The Sensational 70's largely employs grainy, washed-out 16mm news footage to give the viewer a kaleidoscopic view of each year (I love the disco music intro that sounds like the tracks they played at the drive-in, for the concession stand promos). Produced in 1979 as a summation of the decade, The Sensational 70's itself has become a time capsule; its rough look and its eclectic choices in what to highlight add a heavy nostalgic factor for viewers who remember how 1970s documentaries used to look and sound. • Fame: who has it, and how the famous deal with it • Munich Olympics and the Arab/Israeli terrorist incident • Nixon in China • U.S. presidential campaigns/George Wallace assassination attempt • Watergate Hotel break-in by dumb Republican thugs • The evolving sound of Rock ’N Roll • Melvin Van Peebles directing Sweet Sweetback’s Badasssss Song • Clifford Irving/Howard Hughes biography scandal • Obesity and dieting/fitness fads • Bobby Fischer/Boris Spassky championship chess match • America’s escalating defense budget • Death of crossdresser/FBI Director J.
