Featured review
Nathaniel Shilkret's Traveltalk Orchestra Was A Thing?
This example of James Fitzpatrick's Traveltalks starts off looking like a series of hand-colored postcards -- caused, no doubt, by the Technicolor elements shrinking at very slightly different rates. He speaks about the natural beauty of the islands, their major industries -- in this case, the Pearl Harbor Naval base -- but no mention of pineapples, and an erratic recounting of its history and the hula dance.
Fitzpatrick always had an annoyingly strident delivery to his narration of the script, and it's certainly an annoyance here, but Wilfred Cline's color photography is quite lovely. Fitzpatrick's other business was a travel agency. I bet he sold some tickets off this!
