SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Modern New Orleans (1940)** 1/2 (out of 4) Another entry in MGM's TravelTalk series with James A. FitzPatrick. This time out we visit New Orleans to see Canal Street, the mighty river, old steamboats, Tulane University, above-group cemeteries and the booming business of cotton and bananas. If you've seen one TravelTalk short then you know what to expect and this one here delivers just like the rest. The Technicolor aspect is a major player here as this is one of the best looking shorts I've seen from the series. It's also interesting to see how the city looked way back then considering what we think of it today and especially after Hurricane Katrina.

An MGM TRAVELTALK Short Subject.Our trip to the MODERN NEW ORLEANS begins at the expansive Port, where huge amounts of cotton are shipped to the world. We are taken along lovely Canal Street and shown a glimpse of the former Huey P. Long Home. One of New Orleans' ornate above-ground cemeteries is also visited.This is one of a large series of succinct travelogues turned out by MGM, beginning in the 1930's. They featured Technicolor views of beautiful & unusual sights around the globe, as well as vivid, concise commentary. These films were produced & narrated by James A. FitzPatrick.
