There are a couple of oddities in this James A. Patrick Traveltalk. FIrst, there's no indication of which cinematographer he sent with the Technicolor camera down to the capital of Costa Rica. Second, the print that plays on Turner Classic Movies is clearly marked as from a 16 mm. print. Perhaps they all are..This would help explain the relatively poor prints that TCM usually runs.
For the rest of it, Fitzpatrick blathers out his usual incoherent mixture of facts, like Costa Rica being the first country to export bananas to Great Britain. Fitzpatrick spends about a third of the travelogue talking about bananas. For me, the principal fact about bananas is that it's a word that repetition makes nonsensical very quickly.
