This early Traveltalks episode goes to the popular Canadian vacation spot. It's a vacation from the Great Depression. It has beautiful nature. Lake Louise is very familiar. I've never been there and not much else is that familiar. That is probably a good deal of nostalgia which I don't have. I'm sure the place has changed over the years. With all the great picturesque nature, the most compelling are the trees leaning over into the river. They look amazing. It's wilderness. It's great.

. . . "50 Switzerland.s in one" because residents there require 100 cough drops for every couple of throat lozenges used in Heidi's Country, the ironically titled BEAUTIFUL BANFF AND LAKE LOUISE reports. These foolhardy souls build their swimming pools in the draftiest places they can locate, so every afternoon features the sort of "polar bear swims" that most Northern locales restrict to an annual fundraising event. Surprisingly, the natural bodies of water in these climes are an "abstract blue-green," due to the high concentration of algae bloom caused by a plethora of unwanted invasive microscopic pests, cautions the voiceover man. This incautious dude apparently has left the cozy confines of his USA Homeland as a Public Service, to warn his unsuspecting fellow Americans NOT to venture North of our border.
Handsome Mountains

James A. Fitzpatrick sends the Technicolor cameras up to the Canadian Rockies so that Winton Hoch can shoot some quite lovely images of the high mountains, and girls diving into a swimming pool. Then, of course, Fitzgerald goes into a recording studio so he can shout word salad at the audience and recite a poem extolling Canada's natural beauty in an "or else!" tone.
It would be a few more years before Fitzgerald would realize his audience wasn't deaf. In the meantime, the pictures are great, and the copy that plays on Turner Classic Movies is in good shape.
