An MGM TRAVELTALK Short Subject.
We begin our cinematic tour IN THE VALLEY OF THE RHINE with a stop in Cologne for a look at the mighty Cathedral. Then it is on to Bonn, where we are shown the birthplace of Beethoven. In Koblenz we are taken to a lively wine garden to watch the dancing & hear the orchestra. Finally, we arrive at the most famous & romantic stretch of the river - where the steep hills crowd in close to the water. We pass quaint villages & see the beautiful vineyards which extend right up the steep slopes. After seeing several castles, we end our short tour near the rock of the Lorelei, where Teutonic legend & the music of Richard Wagner hold sway.
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.
