James A. Fitzpatrick sends the Technicolor cameras to Prague under the supervision of Winton D. Hoch to shoot pictures of a town where the principal interests are what happened centuries ago. I won't claim he's not interested in anything that happened after the 14th Century -- there's a couple of clocks from 1408, and we get to look at the modern commercial district for almost ten seconds -- but it's clear that Fitzpatrick and his staff think the principal thing about Prague that will interest the audience is the Gothic architecture.
They're certainly not wrong about that as of the date of this travelogue. They seem to be in doubt as to whether anyone has even heard of the nation, since they preface it by discussing how it came about after being created after the FIrst World War from Austria Hungary. The print that plays on Turner Classic Movies is in pretty good condition if you want to take a look at it. I expect most of the buildings they show are still there.
