This James Fitzpatrick Traveltalk sends the Technicolor cameras from Los Angeles all the way to San Francisco to take a look at Treasure Island. Built up from a sand bar in San Francisco Bay in 1936 and 1937, it was intended for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition and remains today as a neighborhood in the city.
The print I saw this evening was in good condition, and the images are quite lovely, given the international flavor of the architecture. I am annoyed, as usual, by Mr. Fitzpatrick's peppy drivel, but what can you do when he talks about the Colombian exhibit concerning the "interesting history of coffee"? Enjoy the nice pictures and the background music or turn down the volume.
