I usually enjoy the "Passing Parade" shorts on Turner Classic Movies. John Nesbitt usually takes some anecdote - maybe a personal one about early 20th century Americana, maybe a tale of some remote place or person, and tries to tie it into modern times (1940's in this case). But here I can't figure out what Mr. Nesbitt's point was. He starts out talking about the weather and how at first it was considered something magical or having to do with the gods, and then he talks about the progress of science in predicting storms. He gets a bit melodramatic at this point and talks about different reactions to different predictions - preventing freezing of citrus, delaying or hurrying a shipment in reaction to a predicted storm at sea, etc. Then the short just turns into pictures of different kinds of storms in progress with really no point other than audiences not having access to that kind of imagery prior to television.
His final point is that the person who perseveres the storm is rewarded. Huh? At first glance this dialogue has a stream of consciousness feel to it like some Ed Wood production. But then I noted the year it was made - 1943. Maybe Nesbitt was trying to equate storms and persevering to the then raging WWII? Just a guess, and that's something you did not commonly need to do with John Nesbitt, since the Passing Parade shorts were usually sharp in focus.
Please don't prejudge the others based on the jumble that this one is.
