An OK romp through the canyoney part of Utah - We don't care about the cities apparently? It's silent, and color. The footage is just ok. I almost feel this is some tourist's home movies, with title cards put in. "Hey Gladys! I betchum I can make one of dose educational films for meself! And I want you to star in it!" "Gladys" (Which I've named her) sure is transfixed by Bryce Canyon, which this film mainly focuses on. What I focused on is her choice of footwear. I'm sure those high heels were comfortable walking the trails.
