The remarkable bird studies and some striking scenic glimpses should give tbe film a wide appeal!. Many Maoris take part in the production, which reaches its highest point of dramatic interest through their co-operation, while the reproduction of Native songs is excellent. The Minister of Publicity, Mr Langstone, stated that the film is being handed to the National Patriotic Fund Board to be utilised to assist its funds.
