James Fitzpatrick Shuts Up!

I've looked at a couple of hundred of James A. Fitzpatrick's traveltalks and I've grown annoyed by his glib voice-over work. His other job was running a travel agency, and the shorts sound like an agent, trying to sell you a ticket.

With this one, he offers you something different. The commentary of this "People on Parade" short is by native Venetians, speaking hesitant English as we are offered the usual standard pictures of the beautiful city. One woman talks of her delight with the trees. A gondolier sings for us. Another makes amusing comments about the only automobile in town (a small boy's toy).

Fitzpatrick is still trying to sell the audience a ticket to see Venice for themselves; however, he gives us the locals, offering a tour of what they think are the best points, and letting us know we are welcome.

The print that I saw on TCM was not of very high quality and the colors offered on what was originally a Technicolor print look spotty.

Curiosidades
Part of James A. FitzPatrick's "People On Parade" series, this is a travelogue like his popular "Traveltalks" shorts that he had produced for a couple of decades. With the new series title came a slight change in the formula. Instead of FitzPatrick providing a narration that describes the places visited, this short features the voices of "ordinary citizens" describing their feelings for their country and their family roots as they introduce the city's monuments. However, the speakers likely are professional actors reading from a script and affecting Italian accents, intermixed with bits of authentic audio recorded on location.
