In the Valley of the Rhine (1953)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Cologne, Germany is the stop in this entry of James A. FitzPatrick's TravelTalks series from MGM. The series hit Germany several times throughout the years but this one here takes a stronger look at Cologne (as well as smaller views of Bonn and Koblenz). The various sites we get to visit include the birthplace of the legend Beethoven, the Cathedral and of course the Rhine River. If you've seen anything from this series then you know what to expect here. Overall this is another good entry in the long-running series, which of course benefits from the use of Technicolor. This added bonus isn't thought of as much today and I'm sure it wasn't too hot in 1953 but these shorts still served a nice purpose for people.
