I found the full video! It was posted last December on YouTube. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrazL120rG0
Wally Schirra made a parody video of Alan Shepard. On the 6th anniversary of Freedom 7, this video, called “Astronaut Hero, or How to Succeed in Business Without Flying … Much”, was shown at a fundraiser in front of hundreds of people. Schirra narrated the funny film that featured planes crashing, Freedom 7’s recovery, and the first two space chimps: Ham and Enos. It featured the picture above also. The film humorously made fun of Shepard. At the end of the five-minute video, Shepard unexpectedly came on the screen and said “Wally, I expect you to be at my office at oh-eight-hundred Monday morning”. Schirra did not know about that little scene that Shepard had added.
I have only found a four-minute version of this film on a PBS site. That version was posted over five years ago. Is there a site online where the full video is found??? I really want to see the entire thing.

Why does First Man have 5.5 stars on IMDB, yet an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes? Do people really hate the movie First Man, or are trollers and moon conspirators rating the movie low even without seeing it?
I have seen another movie that right after release, a ton of people rated the movie one star on IMDB without seeing the movie. I’m wondering if the same thing is happening. Why did 196 people on IMDB gave First Man one star???????????????????????
