The film is part of James A. Fitzpatrick's documentary series "Traveltalk" ("The Voice of the Globe"). It was released in 1936.Because of the great demand and the discussions surrounding the video, I have created together with Martha Gomes a webpage designed to capture this phenomenon. It additionally contains three articles about the video, which had appeared in the Brazilian media. It also features photos of today's Rio with screenshots from the original Fitzgerald video: http://www.martinottmann.org/d... film features the now legendary "Palácio Monroe". The history of this building is decribed here (in portuguese): http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/P... "traveltalks" predecessor of the "City of Splendour" was released in 1932. It was titled "Rio the Magnificient" and it is also featured on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Ta mais que certo, eu assino em baixo! A maior parte dos favelados não é formado por cariocas, mas por nordestinos, angolanos e pessoas que vem do interior do Rio e insistem em ter que morar na zona sul ou perto da zona sul mesmo que não tenham dinheiro.

Eu nasci e moro em BH. Sempre que posso vou ao Rio pois adoro a cidade. Acho melhor que Europa ou Estados Unidos.

O Rio será sempre o Rio apesar de suas mazelas, que, alías, são comuns a toda cidade que cresceu sem planejamento. Ultimamente, vem aparecendo no Youtube muitos vídeos com imagens do Rio antigo. Por exemplo, este outro filme de James FritzPatrick - Rio the Magnificent (1932). Recomendo que você e os demais vejam esse curta, é bem divertido.Saudações cariocas.

Rio is the most beautiful city of the world. No doubt. NY have the buildings, Paris is great because its old, etc. But Rio have an unique beauty, like it has been made by Gods hands. We dont need recommendations. Let Rio to us, brazilian people, we enjoy it a lot!
