No. They are from the 80s. They were made in New Zealand on a repeat
performance (the first talks were given in LA). Contact Ralph Leighton
at fot@lafn.org for ordering details. I haven't viewed them yet (but I
read the book). Perhaps I'll watch them this holiday season with my
children.

I don't know about the sixties films from Caltech, but the Messenger
Lectures that were given at Cornell are superb. They were filmed
(that was before videotape - these are kinescope recordings) by BBC
and can be bought for a ridiculous price on videotape from someone.
The Feynman tapes I got were four lectures for $60.
