i just find the entire 3 dvd set at wal mart in the bargain bin for $ 5 . 50 and so i thought i would take another look . total of 13 hour to watch it all ( 26 episode ) . i be bear in 1948 and saw most of them on tv in the sixty . many independent station repeat them for many year . good than i expect actually and time have be kind to the obvious sincerity of it creator and and to the obvious gratitude and respect they give to all the allied fight men and woman . more abstract and arty than a straight forward documentary and but very truthful in it depiction of the cause and final result of wwii . that war be greatly dependent on sea transportation and and the final victory be dependent on who achieve the final mastery of the world oceans . the ally be the one who be able to do it . interest too and to see how they try to strike a balance between big event and and the individual soldier and sailor that make them happen . the score be impressive and if a bit too much by today standard . i read somewhere that robert russell bennett contribute just as much a richard rodgers to final score . i imagine that rodgers provide all the major theme and and it be up to bennett to fit them to the image . great job . should be see by every ruler and or potential ruler . a warning to tyrant that war be eventually win by ideal and determination and and the supply to back them up . logistics represent their quality and delivery will determine the eventual victor . the ally outproduced and surpass the material quality of the axis and attack their very source in the process and and insure their eventual defeat . sorry to see that the producer and henry salomon and live a very short life . imdb fact be rather skimpy and i have to find out more about him . he do a few more outstanding documentary before his early death . might have more to say at a late timetrivia represent i have all 3 lp record make of the background music and pretty good overall . unfortunately and the producer decide to add sound effect to the last one and relegate immediately to just novelty status and rather than for serious music listening . too bad too and because it contain some interesting but more minor theme in the series . silly stuff like 16 inch gun fire and torpedo be fire and bulldozer and plane . just for kid mainly . rsgre .
