Title: Two bucks well spent: Victory At Sea DVDs
Post by: Chuck Dye on September 03, 2006, 08:36:01 PM

Fourteen episodes of classic TV, copyright 1952, on two discs for $1 each.

Yes, they are at Wally World.  

Yes, some of the narration, editing, and effects are melodramatic and hokey by todays standards.

The score is still gorgeous. The story is still compelling.  I am keeping my copies.

Great classic TV. I remember when we got our first TV, watching Victory at Sea with my Dad, a WW II Navy veteran on a huge set with a 6" or so round screen. Thought VAS was cool then, haven't changed my mind.

Got it for my Father a few years ago for Christmas. Wonderful stuff. History channel used to do reruns, but doesn't anymore.
