James A. Fitzpatrick sends the Technicolor cameras to shoot pictures of what Chicagoans get up to when the sun sets. He uses two cinematographers for this one, Virgil Miller and Robert Sable, and alternates pictures of the exteriors, which are not very good because -- surprise! Surprise! -- it gets dark at night in Chicago, and the interiors of night clubs and restaurants.
Given the late date of this entry in the Traveltalks series, I was disappointed with the poor condition of the print that runs on Turner Classic Movies. Of course, many of them seem to be a bit fuzzy, betraying the fact they are drawn from TV prints rather than original 35 mm. Elements. This one also suffers from some oddities of color and bad registration. I suspect it was made from a cheaper, non-Technicolor print. That made watching the variety acts in the movie difficult and not very amusing.
