Movie Reviews of 1940s House
Movie Review: Wonderful program!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this show as much as I liked the other reality "time-travel" series put on by PBS. While Frontier House and Manor House were better in terms of human interest stories, 1940s House was interesting nonetheless. The family chosen was perfectly suited to life during wartime. With a single mother, and a husband and wife (whom the show separated often) it was easy to see how women left on the home front would have survived. The details put into making the experience authentic, including mandatory blackouts and air raid shelter orders and rationing, really helped to create the feeling of the struggle that war imposes.
