James A. Fitzpatrick sends the Technicolor cameras to the fabled island under the supervision of Robert Carney to shoot rice paddies, marketplaces, betel nuts, and the bands and dancers -- which are what I think of when I think of Bali, not the two million dollars worth of rice the island exported in 1939 which fascinates Fitzpatrick. Well, I suppose different things interest different people.
The copy of this episode of the Traveltalk series that plays on Turner Classic Movies is in very nice shape, particular the color elements, which show off the greens and browns very attractively. That's the thing about the series: I find Fitzpatrick's narration annoying, but his Technicolor cameramen were first rate.
