Review
So so travelougue sort of meanders along, with nothing much to say for it. I really liked the shots of the plane that "they" travelled in, the clipper. this monstrous freak of a plane which probably guzzled gas by the second. One of the hilarious high points is that we always see all of these people hanging around and gazing out the windows, yet we never see them outside of it, which leads me to believe this is a bit of a hatchet job, put a plug for a new Pan-Am plane with some stock footage! Clever! The stock footage calvacade doesnt really pick up till the beginning of the 2nd part, where we travel through Rio and see some great shots of Carnival. Aside from that, you're on your own.
