Описание: https://www.oldhistoryns.ca
This video was in very rough shape when it was found. I was blow away what saw through very bad pictures. This was neat to take a look at what life was like in 1940s in Nova Scotia. It shows in the video the good life our people were living here at that time mid 1940s. I was able to restore this video for the public to see what Nova Scotia people live like in 1940s. This video shows the spirit of Nova Scotia people and how they seem so very happy living back then. It shows young boys catching Kayak fish on the rivers of Nova Scotia. Blue Rock NS, Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg shipyards, the Lahave, Bridgewater NS, and all the History of Nova Scotia South Shore coast line at that time. We very proud to be able to find such a nice video of Nova Scotia History and to restore it for everyone to see this these wonderful pieces of Nova Scotia history,
We think it very important to remember our History it shows who we are and how we got here!
1940s were simple and was hard work but the people seem too much more alive as community.
February 26, 1894 – June 12, 1980) was an American producer, director, writer and narrator, known from the early 1930s as "The Voice of the Globe." FitzPatrick made nearly 300 films in a career that spanned five decades. He was, in some ways, the heir to Charles Urban's approach to making travelogues: they concentrated on the picturesque elements of a nation visited—architecture and landscape—and not, so much, the people. IMDB reproduces an unsourced quote from FitzPatrick which reads,

"How would I have gained admittance to those countries if I had commented on their social problems? I made my pictures at a time when travel was almost impossible for the average person. I believe I showed people what they would have wanted to see if they could have gone themselves. I don't recall anyone ever requesting a tour of slums and prisons."

Fitzpatrick also relates to Charles Urban in his advocacy of color, which he first employed in "Charles Gounod" (1928), a film in the Famous Music Master Series.]When I was a young child I remember on the first half of the programme at the pictures we would often be presented with a travelogue usually featuring "The Voice of the Globe" - James FitzPatrick. We all found them frightfully interesting as most of us were too poor to even go beyond the tram terminus. Made in Technicolor, they made you feel as though you were there.

For those who may not have memories that stray back that far, Mr. FitzPatrick narrated the travelogues rather quaintly himself and some of his phrases such as "As the sun sinks slowly in the west, we must say farewell to...." have been lampooned on occasion and stick forever in the mind.

I notice that Turner Classic Movies has been featuring some of these items between pictures now and then and it causes me to enquire as to who now owns the films? And, presumably what is shown on the telly are just prints that have been in circulation for some time - would the original negatives still be in existence from which sparkling new Technicolor prints could be made? I feel that a whole new audience would find these films fascinating - even though Mr. FitzPatrick does refer to some peoples as "native savages" in his colourful old-fashioned phraseolog

With the coming of television, Hollywood began to reduce their reliance on short subjects and many shorts departments began to close; FitzPatrick owned his own unit and managed to survive longer than many internal studio units, but the writing was on the wall by the time he bowed out. FitzPatrick Pictures produced only five features, and three of these intended for release only in the UK; the last one, "Song of Mexico" (1945) was released by Republic Pictures. In the twenty-first century, the Travel talks are notable for preserving city spaces before many of them had skyscrapers or international hotel chains, and ways of life that are now defunct, though these are presented in a very general way. The TravelTalks are often shown yet today on Turner Classic Movies as filler material between features.
