Monumental Utah (1944) 

** 1/2 (out of 4) 

The title alone should tell you that we've got another entry in MGM's TravelTalks series with James A. FitzPatrick. This time we visit Utah where we get to visit various sites including Mormon Tabernacle Choir as well as some mountains, which Indians once believed held demons. FitzPatrick said that up until recent years no one was able to reach this site other than Indians and early settlers. As a whole this is another decent episode but I was somewhat shocked to see that there really wasn't too many places visited. The narration is also cut back and instead we just get long tracking shots of the locations that we're looking at, which actually wasn't a bad thing. The mountain range we visit is pretty much a couple minute drive down the road with the film just letting our eyes see everything there is.

The travel documentary features individuals or groups as they journey to different locations, regions, or countries. These documentaries provide viewers with a visual and narrative exploration of various destinations, cultures, landscapes, and experiences.
