Land of Geronimo (1945)

Bit of an odd and neverending movie here as the film covers Arizona and New Mexico. The first half covers the desert terrain and animals, where as the second half goes a bit more urban and talks about cultivating the land and it's cities. Not too sure who this was made for (what was that talk about private schools?). But god, why why why the organ soundtrack? It just made the film a little less palatable.

The shots in this film are fine, but who's idea was it to put Aunt Tillie at a church organ playing random notes? It's distracting and then annoying. Gulf is so poor it couldn't spring for stock music? OK, Tillie lets out with a version of "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" when the screen shows, um, tumbling tumbleweeds. Between that and the even-toned narration, it's easy to drift off to sleep half-way through this.
