This film dramatizes one of the best-known incidents in English literature-the Christmas visit of Mr. Pinwick and his friends to Dingley Dell Farm. In the large parlor, everyone responds to he cordial atmosphere, and above all to the joyour capers of Mr. Pickwick, who excels in all the merrymaking. Beautiful color photography and a commentary which is well written nd beautifully delivered removes “Wild Highlands” from the single category of a nature film and makes it an art film as well. The wild highlands of Scotland are explored and birds, animals, and plants are shown as they renew themselves in he spring and summer. Shows how natural balance of plant and animal life maintains itself. Also gives a feeling for the Scottish highlands.
