Editorial Reviews

"I cannot think of any other title that would be as befitting as the one chosen by the producers of this fascinating set of DVDs (A Southern Kaleidoscope). Yes, this truly is a kaleidoscope of the southern states; showcasing the many faces of the region in as many hues and tones as could possibly be captured on film. From scenes of thrilling Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans to the pathos of the homeless in Greater St. Louis, the films on these fabulous DVDs present an absorbing account of the life in the southern states. Particularly riveting are the travelogues of Florida and the tribute to African Americans whose contribution to the growth and prosperity of the southern states cannot be overlooked. A peek at the modern housing that had sprung up in Alabama and a fleeting look at the accomplishments of the telephone industry put the finishing touches to a delightful compilation of films, most of which date back to the mid-fifties. These films present a new perspective on the southern part of this great country and are certain to delight, inform and entertain. Truly a work of art, this fascinating set of DVDS is one that collectors will do well to add to their collection."

5.0 out of 5 stars All About Mardi Gras, July 20, 2006
By 
Bart (Montpellier, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Historic Travel US A Southern Kaleidoscope (DVD)
Have you ever wondered where the mardi gras tradition comes from? If so, you'll like this DVD which explains everything you could possibly want to know about the New Orleans festival. There isn't much stuff about other things in the south, so the DVD is sorta mistitled, but the carnival footage more than makes up for it. You get a really good sense of why this party matters and why even in the days of post-Katrina, people still celebrate fat tuesday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Travel Footage, May 24, 2006
This review is from: Historic Travel US A Southern Kaleidoscope (DVD)
I'm a big fan of these types of movies because they help me figure out where I want to go on my next vacation. This one gives a fairly comprehensive tour of the Southern States. My favorite track shows New Orleans at Mardi Gras - which I found particularly poingent in the post Katrina era. It made me want to go next year. The other areas also look interesting and I might take a trip to Florida. The movies are not too promotional and I felt like I got a balanced perspective.
