Mediterranean Ports of Call (1941)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Another entry in MGM's TravelTalks series with this one taking a look at ports in Algiers and Monaco. In Algiers we learn that the place was an original piracy hot spot for various sea thieves until the French government finally got them under control. In the slums we see the various costumes being worn by the people and how women still go around with veils on their faces. We also see a war memorial and in Monaco we see the infamous Suicide Rock and learn that there really aren't too many suicides there after all. Once again this is your typical entry in the series, which means we learn a few interesting things and the Technicolor gives us a lot of great stuff to look at. There are certainly some beautiful images but the stand out would have to be the beautiful waters that we see.
