What can I possibly say about this dull MGM promotional short for one of their biggest flops--RAINTREE COUNTY--supposed to be their answer to GONE WITH THE WIND.
The film itself is a great big sprawling mess--a large canvas in search of a story. The idea of looking for the magical Raintree is nicely expressed in Johnny Green's rich background score, but that's the only thing besides pretty sets and costumes that the picture has going for it.
This short merely shows cameras, cast and crew getting ready to set up scenes for the film, thanks to the help and cooperation of inhabitants of Danville, Kentucky, where much of the town scenes were filmed. We get barely a glimpse of the stars, the most interesting aspect being the recreation of a railroad station and an old train used for a key scene. Everything else is puffed up to resemble a narrative that will bring people to see the film.
Summing up: As dull as the film itself.
