Summary
Pathe synopsis: We visit more countries than there are colours in the rainbow. We go to a country a minute, without leaving our cinema seats. And without encountering anything tense or harsh. Usually it is events - grim and earnest - that cause cameramen to go to the four corners of the earth. Today Pathe Pic reverses this trend. We go to America, Austria, Greece, Holland, Italy and on to Mexico in search of loveliness and peace and simple fun. And with gratitude and pride we find these precious things.
