TravelTalks
Glimpses of Austria (1938)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Another TravelTalks entry, this one taking us to Vienna, the largest city in Astria. Once there we get to visit the large Schonbrunn Palce, which has a total of 1441 rooms and over 300 kitches. From here we go to the Charles Church, which was created due to a major plague that hit the town and then we see the historic Statut Opera House. We also get to see several folk dances as well as the many dazzling costumes that people were wearing around at the time. Fans of the James A. FitzPatrick series will certainly want to check this here out if, like me, they have a morbid desire to see every film in the series. As is the usual case, this here offers some great scenery with the Technicolor and the stories we're told aren't too bad either. The most fascinating stuff deals with the various famous people who ended up staying at the White Horse Inn and a famous joke that would come from that meeting (now politically incorrect).
