PAN AM 1960s URUGUAY MONTEVIDEO SOUTH AMERICA TRAVELOGUE 52624
The jet age allowed Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) to promote worldwide tourism via its airline. The company’s New Horizons series advertised these intercontinental flights to such locations as Uruguay, one of the world’s purest democracies.” This 1965 color film opens with a montage of scenes from around the South American country as the narrator briefly tells us about the discovery of the country in the 1500s and how modern travelers are encouraged “to pause (and) take in the easy, congenial mood of Uruguay’s metropolis” as we see additional scenes from around the capital, Montevideo. Tourists are seen sipping on coffee and tea and we’re told near mark 03:00 how you can feel comfortable there because “the country is good natured without being light headed; intelligent without being ostentatious.” There are a variety of scenes of natives and tourists milling about the streets and sidewalks as a Latin beat plays in the background. There is a visit to the Plaza Artigas (mark 03:45) and the presidential palace before again turning to the streets and images of kids playing soccer as well the Monumento la Carreta, an epic sculpture depicting a wagon and straining oxen that honors of the ox-cart drivers of the 19th century (mark 05:00). We also learn of residents’ fondness for antique cars, semi-precious stones, and furs — which also appeal to tourists. At mark 07:39 we look at a typical ranch home just outside Montevideo as the residents are shown strolling the grounds before moving on to the farms of the countryside as cattle, sheep, and other animals are herded by gauchos as the narrator talks about the South American cowboys. As it nears its end the picture takes us on a tour of the country’s beaches and inviting waters as well as its frenetic nightlife.
