Just perfect...
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Motoring in Mexico (1943) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Pleasant TravelTalks entry has James A. FitzPatrick traveling through Mexico where he starts his journey on the newly developed Pacific International Highway, which was built so that more rural areas could reach bigger cities. We also get a special note of how Mexico is trying to build more roadways so that their people can experience life in other parts of the country. Also on hand are the snow-topped Popocatepetl volcano as well as many beaches, which will certainly make you want to take off and head there. We also see some young divers jumping off mammoth cliffs that only the bravest would attempt. If you're familiar with the series then you know what to expect. We get some interesting stories, nice visuals and of course that beautiful Technicolor. The movie remains entertaining through its short 8-minutes and is a pleasant way to kill some time.
