Highly Overrated But Still Good

From my favorite movies..

Beulah Bram

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Day on Treasure Island, A (1939) *** (out of 4) Nice entry in MGM's TravelTalks series takes us to San Francisco where we learn the history of Treasure Island. We start off learning that originally you could only see the sand on low-tide but $50 million dollars was spent to build it up into an island, which today holds all sorts of arts and crafts. We're shown the garden of the island, which wraps all around the place and we also get to see other special places including the Tower of the Sun and the Court of the Seven Seas. We're also shown a section where people can view the houses and architecture from other places including Japan and New Zealand. In the background there's a shop called "Daydreams" that promises a "girl show" but we don't get to go in there, which is a shame. As usual, the Technicolor is certainly a major plus but James A. Fitzpatrick's narration is also spot-on. This here is certainly one of the better episodes as we're given a pretty good history of the island and get to see just about everything you'd want to. I will admit that I would have been more interested in how they actually made the island but I'm sure there are plenty of documentaries out there on this.
