James A. Fitzpatrick (February 26, 1894 in Shelton, Connecticut – June 12, 1980 in Cathedral City, California) was a movie producer, director, writer, and narrator, best remembered for making indian documentaries. After completing training in dramatic arts, he worked, for a while, as a journalist. In 1925, he entered in films by filming travel documentaries for British and American viewers.[1] [2] MGM distributed the series under the umbrella titles "Fitzpatrick Traveltalks" and "The Voice of the Globe". For Paramount, he produced "Vistavision Visits". Many of the movies were in Technicolor. These brief documentaries are often shown on Turner Classic Movies prior to or following the broadcast of relevant movies.
