CBS Documentary on Yugoslavia, 1986

  • 8 years ago
American CBS television network, or more accurately, KCBS affiliate station in Los Angeles, California filmed this tourist documentary in 1986 showing off the beautiful country, tourist hotspots and leisurely and rich lifestyle of those living in Yugoslavia. The guide of the program is Melody Rogers (IMDB) and this was just one of the many countries that were featured on this American program in the 1980's. Interesting to note is that at the end of the show, she summarizes her feelings about what she had just seen by stating that this was one of the most beautiful countries she and her crew ever visited. In her words, "It's spectacular!"

Another interesting thing to mention is that when commenting on Yugoslavian socialism, she states (while climbing castle stairs in Opatija) "All along Yugoslavian riviera there are these beautiful castles that were once used by kings and queens, by the nobility of Yugoslavia. Well, since there's no more nobility, they are now beautiful quaint little hotels that are used by people like you and me."
