| Rio de Janeiro - "City of Splendour" - 1936 documentary |
 |
The film is part of James A. Fitzpatrick's
documentary series "Traveltalk" ("The Voice of the
Globe"). It was released in 1936.
Because of the great demand and the discussions
surrounding the video, I have created together
with Martha Gomes a webpage designed to capture
this phenomenon. It additionally contains three
articles about the video, which had appeared in
the Brazilian media. It also features photos of
today's Rio with screenshots from the original
Fitzgerald video:

The film features the now legendary "Palácio
Monroe". The history of this building is decribed
here (in portuguese):

The "traveltalks" predecessor of the "City of
Splendour" was released in 1932. It was titled
"Rio the Magnificient" and it is also featured on
youtube:
