Sid Davis Productions started out with cheesy, strident films about teenaged addicts and speeders, and ho-mo-sex-u-alls, the dangers of which are told by a dull, bored narrator. This film is the exact opposite. It doesn't look like a Sid Davis film at all. A majestic opening, excellent shots (especial aerial), professional narration, well-picked stock music, and a neat tale of the development of a popular tramway. The film is a Miracle at Palm Springs! It may be a tad long, but the makers are trying to fit in as much as they can.

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is still up and running outside of Los Angeles. I found it interesting that the entire project was privately funded and accomplished by carefully orchestrated helicopter drops and that there also were no major mishaps in those many frequent deliveries. Apparently this film was shown for free in a small movie theater at the top of the ride.

Fun but overong look at the Palm Springs aerial tramway. This film goes over the building of it, its upkeep and activity you can do in the area. Some gorgeous photography is shown, but we really didn't need to see every little picking thing about the place.
