James A. Fitzpatrick sends the Technicolor cameras with Hone Glendinning to take pictures of the ruins of Egypt, taking a look at things more than 3000 years old.
Fitzpatrick's commentary is loud and emphatic, and for once, justified, awed at works of man which have survived so long in the dry dessert. It's the Valley of the Kings, where tombs, temples and pyramids stand side by side with water wheels. It's a humbling sight, the remnants of one of the places where civilization arose.
The copy of this short that plays on Turner Classic Movies is in very good shape. Although most of it is the lighter tan of the stone and sand, the final shot of the sunset shows that the Technicolor elements are in very good shape.
