Most helpful review Victory At Sea - Vol. 1

Musical note

By a customer from Bedfordshire , 20 Apr 2005

[Highly rated reviewer]

The music - by the great Richard Rogers(of and Hammerstein fame)can get repetetive, and overmuch, but generally is very good. If it is not to your liking, turn the sound down/off and enjoy the brilliant footage.

Biased propaganda

By Mark57 (13 reviews) from York , 22 Sep 2009

A waste of time. Don't watch this if you are not American. In fact if you are discerning American do not watch it either. It is not informative, it has some highly irritating background music and the whole lot is delivered with a really annoying Hollywood style which circumvents the truth. The only reason I gave it 1/2 a star is because some of authentic films are interesting in their own right; but beware: a lot of the content is restaged stuff, possibly filmed by Howard Hughes or similar. OK as propaganda, but useless as a valuable historical reportage about the second world war.

good footage

By a customer from London , 31 Jan 2006

I gather this was one of the first documentary series and was the forunner to The World at war and others. Very much of its time, it's basically a How We Won the War piece. But as a source of footage its very good. Seems to use everything from training film, staged scenes, wartime footage, captured film and special effects (model planes on wires). As with all documentaries the footage isn't always chronoligically correct but good none theless.
