Picturesque New Zealand (1952)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
TravelTalks entry takes us to Auckland where we see how the city has
developed over the past generations. We see a museum where many
belongings to the original settlers are held as well as the Christ
Church, which is near Canterbury University. Also on hand is Lake
Wakatipu, which was been the main inspiration of many artists and we
also see various farms with sheep and how New Zealand has become one of
the best fishing grounds in the world. This is yet another good entry
in the series as we get some great stories and some wonderful visuals.
The only thing I would question is the image of Lake Wakatipu because
what we see here looks like a painting. We see an artist sitting in
front of the lake drawing it but to my eyes it appears that the artist
is sitting in front of a painted lake. Once again we get the great
narration by James A. FitzPatrick and some glorious Technicolor shots.
