James A. Fitzpatrick sends the Technicolor cameras down to Vera Cruz, to offer a tourist guide to that city. The pictures are quite lovely, and the images have a watercolor quality to them, befitting the city on the Gulf of Mexico. Was this intentional or have the prints simply aged that way?
The Traveltalks, which had been a part of the MGM slate of short subjects for the theater manager to select, had been running since 1933. During the War, the destinations had been limited to North America. Moviegoers might be offered a visit to exotic Minnesota, or faraway San Francisco. You didn't care to send the crews through seas where they might be sunk by German submarines, after all. Yet, here we are in March of 1946, and it's still in a location where the crew might get on the train and be on site a day or two later. This was the next of the last of these. In June, audiences might find themselves LOOKING AT LONDON.
