The nation's new 50-star flag makes its film debut on July 4, 1960, as a
backdrop for a movie by Paramount Pictures. Far too large ever to be flown, the
21-by-42 silk flag with 14-inch stars and 18-inch wide stripes was made up for
this scene starring Elvis Presley, in Hal Wallis'... more "G.I. Blues". Close
