Scope and Content

An American serviceman holds a slate that reads: Scene 140. The camera follows a car with a USA insignia on the back down a street in Teheran and into a courtyard in front of the Soviet embassy, where the Teheran conference was held. Soviet soldiers run and march past the building while American soldiers film and take photographs of them. 01:40:38 Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill come around the corner of the building and walk up the steps. They stop to pose for photographers or perhaps answer questions. 01:41:59 Roosevelt is now with them, sitting in a chair at the top of the steps. The three sit side by side while photos are taken. Present in the background are Admiral Leahy, General Marshall, General Arnold, Hopkins, Molotov, and Voroshilov, as well as Sarah Churchill (she shakes hands with Stalin). Anthony Eden appears at 01:46:01.
