- Producer of more than 200 shorts over the span of three decades, James A. FitzPatrick brought the rich beauty of the world's natural landscapes and its varied cultures and people to the big screen for audiences to discover. FitzPatrick worked at MGM for almost 25 producing his TravelTalks series before moving to Paramount Pictures to shortly create the Vistavision Visits. His stunning work captured an era of life long gone to time but preserved for ever on film.

He passed before I moved back to the states in Aug1980. I discovered him recently at 52. Big fan.
I watch his travel talks everyday..my father keeps the channel on tcm 24 hours a day.ive seen a lot of good movies.
My mom was in a James Fitzpatrick travel short in 1955. It was called, "VistaVision Visits Hawaii". Would love to see it.
Wow! How cool is that?!
At 3:30 is My husband’s Grandpa. Who would think that we’d see him 65 years later!
I'm three years late to comment but may I ask who this is? I am James A. FitzPatrick's daughter and was just curious!
@@joannafitzpatrick5232 my Husband’s Grandpa is the guide on the horse, with Yosemite in the background. So surprising to be watching Turner Classic Movie channel and seeing your very own Grandpa!! Thanks to your Dad.
I think that without James Fitzpatrick's TravelTalk shorts, documentary films and shows (i.e. anything by National Geographic) as a whole wouldn't be the same today.
Oh to go back to those gracious days-before everything changed!
I love his travel talks. I wish Turner Classics would show the over and over between films.
I love these❤❤
It's long past time for these good travel videos to be closed captioned so those with lousy hearing can enjoy them also.
Generations of audiences loved MGM's TravelTalks, a series of 222 globetrotting short films. They made a star of James A. Fitzpatrick-but today, they're mostly forgotten.
I remember watching these films at the movies . Maybe this is one reasonI becaming a global nomad appealed to me!
Great video 👍📸😊
Most or all of FitzPatrick's color shorts were shot on Kodachrome, and transferred to Technicolor back in New York or Hollywood.
My grandfather, David Williams of Beverly Hills,was a good friend of James Fitzpatrick. He talked about their adventures often He was the photographer and financer of a travel series, with Fitzpatrick, in the 50's. As the story goes they divided the series and my grandfather got half of the completed series. I have this collection in my possession. My grandfather claimed these are never before seen Fitpatrick films. I have about a dozen boxes of film reels in storage.. I just had to comment as you have the Fitzpatrick name and might be a relative. Cheers!!
No, where are the travel talks narrated by Fitzpatrick?
Most of these episodes were very racist
Why you say that?
