This short amateur film, a home movie shot by an unknown American, shows viewers a glimpse of Mickey Rooney's tour of Vietnam with the USO. It opens with US soldiers in green uniform (:03) smiling at Rooney and taking photographs of Rooney and his well dressed girlfriends. Ground crew members are viewed on the ground from a chopper as it takes off (:16). The camera moves over an unidentified base camp (:21). A soldier snaps photographs as young Vietnamese children stand by (:25). A long shot shows the soldiers standing in the trenches with sandbags lining the trench (1:07). Rooney, wearing a five star hat, chews on a cigar and mugs for the camera (1:31). Photographs are taken of the campsite (1:47). The CH-47A appears (2:08). Mickey's girls, in mini-skirt sixties style dresses and white high boots, dash in front (2:05). The film closes with shots of the interior of the CH-47A (2:17) and the model in orange peering out of the window. 

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
