Movie Reviews of Victory at Sea
Movie Review: History Channel take note
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is Victory at Sea, complete on two discs for less than $10.00--and the sound mix is fine.
I wrote this about the History Channel release of Victory at Sea, which was its first time on DVD and originally sold for nearly $70.00, making the disappointment even more acute:
"The sound on this DVD is terrible. It is not possible to hear the narration when the level is set for the music score. With the level set for the narration, the music track is too loud for the music-only passages.
"The narration on these DVDs, when you can hear it, sounds thin and reedy, as if it was fed through a telephone line.
"This problem has nothing to do with the age of the original material. I have Victory at Sea on laser disc. The audio on them is fine when played through my TV or through the same sound system that I use for DVD. The sound was fine on the VHS release. The sound has been consistently fine when the series was shown on TV over the years. And the sound, with Richard Rogers acclaimed score, was fine when the series first ran on NBC when I was a boy."
This release is just fine. Many of the episodes have a volume number superimposed on the title screen ("Volume 5" for instance). These supers also appeared on the laser disc release suggesting that both the laser disc and this DVD release of Victory at Sea were mastered from the same acceptable source. I'm very satisfied, pleased to at last have a decent copy of Victory at Sea on DVD.
Summary of Victory at Sea
Victory at Sea, a 26-episode series on World War II, represented one of the most ambitious documentary undertakings of early network television.The series premiered on the last Sunday of October 1952, and subsequent episodes played each Sunday afternoon through May 1953. Each half-hour installment dealt with some aspect of World War II naval warfare and highlighted each of the sea war's major campaigns. That drama was enhanced by the program's sententious voice-over narration and by Richard Rogers's stirring musical score.
