Movie Review: Every American Should See This
Summary: 4 Stars
I had not seen this in many years, but this is something that all Americans should see to remind them of what can happen if or when we cease to understand the dangers to our country that exist today. While watching these 26 episodes, I was reminded of how we, the American people, co-operated with one another to ultimately defeat the enemy during World War II. In those days, it mattered little whether you were a Democrat or a Republican, we ALL pulled together to achieve a common goal--VICTORY!!Movie Review: Epic story for a good price
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember watching most of this series when it was broadcast the first time. This collection has the same impact on me today as it did then. The 26-minute episodes are perfect for something to watch when I have a few minutes. While they have not been digitally remastered, the quality is pretty good for 50 year-old film. I actually like the nostalgic look of the old film and the sound is just like I remember it on the 1952 Zenith B&W TV. Very enjoyable so far and absolutely no technical issues with the collection.Movie Review: Tremendous work, superb historical value
Summary: 5 Stars
There are many versions of Victory at Sea, and most of these seem to have fatal flaws that would prevent enjoyment. I can say that this version is EXCELLENT. While they didn't remove every flaw, it looks a lot more natural. The pics of the world as it was then somehow look cleaner, more vivid than today's polluted landscapes- maybe because it's B&W? For whatever reason, it's different, much more interesing, and the announcing and music are faultless. Sure, it could be considered propaganda but it was 'the good war', certainly the 'best' the US ever saw.
The guy who said he was missing episodes almost certainly got a pirated set: mine has all the episodes plus extras. I can't recommend this enough: you get a lengthy series with all the feeling of those long-lost days when heroes DID exist, when patriotism had meaning... it makes today's 'leaders' look truly puny by comparison. We fought, and ended it as quickly as possible, and the goal was peace. The contrast is so strong it can make you weep over what we have lost. Don't miss this one!
Movie Review: Victory at Sea
Summary: 4 Stars
Received this Victory at Sea DVD quickly from Amazon and popped it into my playback unit. The Richard Rogers-scored theme music and all the black and white videos of the awesome effort that went into winning WWII took me back to my high school days when I watched the original series on TV. The product obviously has been transferred from original 35mm films, but the quality of the picture and sound is quite good. Definitely worth the cost of the purchase, just for the historical value. Good to help explain to kids these days the heritage of our nation, and what their forebears thought was important to fight for, in a campaign that took this major logistical effort. Movie Review: Count The Number of Episodes!
Summary: 2 Stars
There are clearly supposed to be 26 episodes on the three DVD's. By the time I completed the series, it was obvious that there were only 4 episodes on each of the 3 DVD's, and I didn't get to them till 10 days after my Return Availability expired! My 3 DVD's have a total of 12 episodes, out of the 26 indicated. Therefore, I received less than 50% of what I paid for. Immediately upon receipt, put each DVD in your player and see how many episodes that you have received!
