Under Carib Skies

Jamaica has changed a lot in the seventy years since this travelogue was produced, and even the fifty years since I was familiar with the North Shore. Still, for the year it was produced, it was a handsome little movie aimed at the tourist, or even the person with an interest in the island.

We see the capital, Kingston, Spanish Town, and Port Royal with a reference to long-dead pirates, and a look at the well ordered police men. Then it's off to the North shore for a look at spooky Rose Hall, then the sugar industry and bananas. Finally, it's the tourist industry, with its handsome hotels, sleepy downtown Montego Bay, and the people enjoying the hotels' pools.
