Rare 1949 Color Film is Pure Michigan

See Northern Michigan in Technicolor and the Straits of Macinac before the bridge was constructed.

Think of all the classic 1950's movies that were shot in black & white. Color film was expensive in 1949 and was not used very often.

This episode of James A. Fitzpatrick's "TravelTalks" series captures the beauty of Northern Michigan including the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City and the Straits of Macinac before the Mighty Mac construction began in 1954 in Nature's most brilliant hues.
