NESBITT
FRUIT PRODUCTS This 1943 travelogue
was made by the Nesbitt Fruit
Products Company and uses the
premise of -- what else? -- a
television show. The film shows
various scenes in Southern
California and Los Angeles,
including of course fruit
production and the making of
Nesbitt's products including its
famous orange soda. Some of the
sights in the film include Union
Station, Olivera Street, La Brea
Tar Pits, oil fields (3:45), navel
orange groves (with spraying of
pesticides by the gallon seen at
6:30), and more. The film shows a
lot about the harvesting of
oranges and has swimsuit-clad gals
picking the abundant fruits in the
fields, and accompanying them to
vast sorting warehouses and
industrial lines where they are
transformed into Nesbitt's orange
juice and other products.
