James Fitzpatrick produces a sort subject about Robert Burns, with particular emphasis on his alleged writing of "Auld Lang Syne" in this handsomely produced short subject.
Although Fitzpatrick is better remembered for producing and narrating his "Traveltalks" series for MGM, his earlier short subjects were mostly about composers: a difficult subject to make films about during the silent era. Even some of his early Traveltalks had music-themed titles like IRELAND "THE MELODY ISLE".
The best part of this movie is the beautiful Technicolor camerawork by specialist Ray Rennahan.
