"This colour film captures the scenic drama of famous Niagara Falls, presenting them with spectacular photographic effect. From the writings of a 17th century missionary the film quotes, 'The water would fall from this formidable precipice and foam and boil in a most hideous fashion'. Indians regarded the Falls as the dwelling place of a god. Modern tourists find them as awe-inspiring as they were centuries ago."
