Applesauce!
boblipton15 May 2021
James A. Fitzpatrick sends the Technicolor cameras up to Washington State under the supervision of Robert Carney. Meanwhile, Fitzpatrick stays in the studio and tries to think of how to astonish us with the facts that they grow apples in Washington and that it has a coastline.

Ho hum. The copy of this short which plays on Turner Classic Movies is in pretty good shape even though its greens have a brownish tinge to them. I suppose that's because of all the dirt around the plants.

not the most exciting

America has entered WWII and TravelTalks visits Washington State. It's not the most exciting episode and it starts with some bright red apples. The show does more flying than usual and a lot of traveling around the state looking out the window. The salmon elevator is interesting. There is more dam work than most episodes. The glimpse of construction looks interesting. For an episode that starts on an apple farm, it's fitting to end looking over a wheat field.

Every Red-Blooded American has heard about the Revolutionary War and . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . our valiant Invasion of Grenada, but how many of us are familiar with the salient details of the seldom-remembered Pig War of 1870? Thanks to GLIMPSES OF WASHINGTON STATE, Today's generation can dredge up more reasons to evince implacable hatred toward the USA's Nefarious Northern Threat (aka, "Canada"). Back in 1870, these uncivilized barbarians forgot that "Wars have consequences," and tried to compensate for the many successful American invasions of the Canadian mainland by joining their fellow losers from Lesser Britain in building a "fort" on a tiny U. S. island populated by a single under-sized piglet. Naturally, it took Americans several decades to notice this insidious incursion. However, once we did, we made the northern mongrels adopt a dead leaf as their national flag and and enshrine a satirical drinking song as their national anthem.
