James A.Fitzpatrick sends the Technicolor cameras under the supervision of cinematographer Howard Nelson to the Riviera -- or, as he says "Ree-vee-era." while Leslie Kirk tootles along on the pipe organ. Or maybe it's a steam calliope.
Fitzpatrick seems to have fallen back into his old, bad habits, of shouting out his sesquipedalian almanac facts. Perhaps he's trying to be heard over the pipe organ. We also get a look at people playing boules, and what Fitzpatrick calls "the most exciting sport in France": bicycle racing. Apparently tiddly-winks has been banned because of the heart attacks it induces.
The images in this entry in the Traveltalks series obviously was quite lovely, but the copy that plays on Turner Classic Movies is very fuzzy.
