An MGM TRAVELTALK Short Subject.
Our whirlwind visit to LOS ANGELES, WONDER CITY OF THE WEST, begins at the Old Spanish Plaza, where the settlement was founded. A stroll down colorful Olvera Street shows us the reconstructed Mexican marketplace. After looking at some of the modern structures along Wilshire Boulevard, we are treated to a quick glimpse at examples of wacky Southern California architecture - the Chinese Theatre, the Brown Derby & the Blue Mill. The impressive backlot at MGM Studios is followed by a meeting with one of America's most famous men, Walt Disney. The dramatic Hollywood Bowl is our final destination during our day in The City of the Angels.
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.
