This Traveltalks entry roams through the northern end of Michigan's Lower Peninsula and makes a short visit to the Upper Peninsula. We start with a ride in a dune buggy on the Sleeping Bear sand dunes. Then it's on to Traverse City, the cherry capital of the world. In Harrison, we visit with Spikehorn Meyer, who lives with the bears that roam freely on his large natural preserve. Our visit ends with a look at Mackinac Island and Sault Ste. Marie, with emphasis on water sports and the water transportation industry.

Roaming Through Michigan Audience Reviews

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Michael_Elliott Roaming Through Michigan (1950) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Nice entry in the TravelTalks series takes us to Michigan where we start off looking at Glen Lake, which is best known for its changing water colors. From here we visit a cherry farm where over 25-million pounds are picked each year. In Harrison, MI we're introduced to Spikehorn Meyer, the infamous bear man who lives among them. We also get to see the historic Grand Hotel as well as Castle Rock. ROAMING THROUGH MICHIGAN benefits from the terrific Technicolor, which certainly shows off all of the images that we get to see. This is especially true with the terrific blue waters as well as the stuff dealing with Meyer. I wasn't able to find too much about Meyer but he certainly seemed like a character just from the minute or so with him here. As usual, James A. FitzPatrick does a very good job with the narration.
mrdonleone I love animals. That's why I liked the first half of this movie. The second half of this so called 'documentary', is about boats and waterfalls. Believe me: it really isn't as good as it sounds. Who wants to see a waterfall and a boat anyway?! Well, perhaps if you collect boats, you'd like it, but I guess 'Steamboal Bill Jr.' with Buster Keaton would be you thing more than this stupid 'Roaming through Michigan'. And if you like waterfalls, you could like this documentary, but than you haven't seen 'Footlight Parade' from Busby Berkeley or 'The River Wild' with Meryl Streep. Anyway, I want to make this clear: the only good thing Michigan ever made was Michael Moore, I think. This documentary is not good, believe me.
