James A. Fitzpatrick sends the Technicolor cameras to Austria -- still considered a separate country in Culver City, despite Anschluss -- under Winton Hoch and natters on about opera houses, music, that dance in which men dress in lederhosen and slap at each other, and Strauss, all without leaving the Danube valley.
The copy of this movie tat plays occasionally on Turner Classic Movies is in fine shape, showing off pre-War Austria to its advantage. Hoch deserves a lot of credit. A Technicolor specialist, he was a frequent cameraman on the Fitzgerald Traveltalks. He is best remembered for the four features he was the lighting cameraman on for John Ford. He died in 1979, three months shy of his 74th birthday.
