World War II in Color - The British Story

Rating:
Summary: excellent sequal to "WWII the Lost Color Archive"
Review: Released in the UK as "Second World War in Colour, the British Story". It is by the same people who did "Second World War in Colour" (in the UK) which was released in the States as "World War II the Lost Color Archive". It follows the same format as the earlier title: John Thaw narrates as others read letters, diaries, etc, as the images go by. There is no studio filler, just original color footage from the war (and some before). In three parts "Darkest Hour", "Beginning of the End", and "Unknown Warriors" (which also shows some of the people as they are today). I don't think this is quite as good as the original- which I reviewed as "the best documentary I've seen"- it is still excellent. The DVD also includes Wyler's original "Memphis Belle" and some footage not shown in the UK broadcast. These are not on the VHS release
