M/S of a Pan Am aeroplane in flight; aerial shot looking down on the Coliseum. Aerial shot of the Vatican, St Peter's Cathedral and Square; several shots from the ground of the same; nuns walk across the square; St Peter's and Castel Angelo; the River Tiber. Various shots taken from a moving car as we drive around Rome.
Several shots of tourists; they get off a coach and eat ice-creams, then mill about and look at various ruins: Vestale Temple, Forum, Palatino Hill. Several shots from a moving car; Vittorio Emmanuel memorial; Capitolino Museum; the City Wall; the pyramid that points to the spot where St Paul was hanged and martyred; more shots of the memorial church, St Paul's-outside-the-walls.
Various shots of the Trevi Fountain; tourists sitting with their feet in the water. Several other fountains in the city are seen. American sailors (white uniforms) look at the Coliseum; several more shots of various sections of the Coliseum; nice exterior shots. Tracking shot across the Circus Maximus and Palatine Ruins, Constantine's Arch; a mini in the foreground.
A girl gets into a horse-drawn open carriage and takes a ride through the Villa Borghesi. We pass a statue of Goethe. Several shots of the Via Veneto at night; neon lights (elegant rather than flashing ritzy ones); people sitting at civilised pavement cafes / restaurants, watching the world go by.

WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
