Here's the original trailer for "The Devil's Brigade", a production inspired by actual WWII events. Released in 1968, many people felt it was rushed into production to capitalize on the similarly-themed blockbuster "The Dirty Dozen", which was released the year before. In fact, producer David L. Wolper had the movie on his planning board for many years. The film has a sensational cast, fine direction by Andrew V. McLaglen and a stirring score by Alex North. 

Here's the original 9-minute promotional featurette for the 1979 sci-fi flick "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century"!

Here is a wonderful documentary about Walter Matthau from The Hollywood Collection:

"Walter Matthau was barely three when his father deserted the family. Subscribe for more Hollywood biographies and stories! http://bit.ly/HollywoodCollectionSub Poverty and New York street smarts produced a self-deprecating humor that never left. The G.I. Bill let him study acting and by 1951 he earned a New York Drama Critics Award. Television dramas followed and then came Hollywood. When director Billy Wilder cast him opposite Jack Lemmon, a classic partnership was created. In Lemmon, Matthau found an enduring friend and frequent co-star. Matthau’s real-life combination of cynicism and gruff sentimentality was reflected in the performances that brought him to major stardom. Two-time Academy Award winner, Matthau’s fifty years of show business have earned him the love of millions and the admiration of fellow professionals. Clips used include: A Face in the Crowd, Charade, The Fortune Cookie, The Odd Couple, Cactus Flower, The Sunshine Boys, Hopscotch, Grumpy Old Men and I’m Not Rappaport. In addition to Walter Matthau himself, on-screen interviewees include actors Jack Lemmon, Julie Harris, Ozzie Davis and Roddy McDowell, directors Herbert Ross, Edward Dmytryk, writer Neil Simon and Walter’s son, director Charles Matthau."

Here's a bizarre scenario: a group called Tommy McCook and the Supersonics released a track called "Our Man Flint" on  Jamaican labe Treasure Isle, which was owned by Duke Reid, a larger-than-life record producer. Wikipedia describes him thusly:

" He was dressed in a long ermine cloak and a gilt crown on his head, with a pair of Colt 45s in cowboy holsters, a cartridge belt strapped across his chest and a loaded shotgun over his shoulder. It was not uncommon for things to get out of hand and it was said that Duke Reid would bring the crowd under control by firing his shotgun in the air."

Research shows the record was released in 1968. As for this track, aside from McCook, a well-known jazz artist, shouting out "Our Man Flint!" at the beginning of the song, there is no reference to the main theme from the film. In fact, as one YouTube commentator points out, the song on the record is actually "Sway", a lounge hit for Dean Martin. The record label also doesn't list the requisite credits for the composer and songwriter. However, it is a good, funky version of the song. 

Here's an original production featurette from the 70's kid's classic "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" that concentrates on Art Director Harper Goff's incredible creations. 

Here's a blast from the past: an assortment of American movie T.V. spots from the 1970s, with a few from the late 1960s included.
