Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Colorado Rapids Shot By Intrepid Adventurers. SHOTLIST: The craft is tossed by the turbulent torrent, whirled on the crest and in the trough of wild waves, but it emerges at the end victorious, the first time any craft has done this at flood tide. Exploring Colorado Canyon CARD 33871 A party of explorers, including Movietone’s cameraman, travel up the Colorado canyon in a flat-bottomed, aero-engined boat belonging to Merle Emery. As they travel they see wrecked of previous expeditions which have failed to shoot Hell Diver Rapids. Good scenic shots.
