Lovely, well-composed footage of the natural beauty of the Rockies is the highlight of this travelogue. Colour would be nice, but a black-and-white version is more than acceptable (though narration about the bluest skies isn't quite as effective in b&w). The audience is reminded the Blackfoot have lived in the area for untold generations, and there's a scene featuring traditional native dancing. There's also a reminder that "the modern automobile" can take you there over 900 miles of good road. The word "Ford" isn't mentioned by the narrator, but the credits reveal that's who sponsored this…

Lovely and simple film telling us about all the wonders that can be had at Glacier National Park in Montana. There are films on here that spend 30 minutes or more on park tourism, but this compact film does it all in 8 minutes and is perfectly fine. Very nice cinematography here.
