WWII - Road to Victory

Rating:
Summary: little if any original color footage
Review: I got the impression, from reading the blurb, that this set contains another installment of original color film from the war that is finally getting released to the public. However, it is actually from a series called "Battlefront" and is based on what seems to be (not very well) colorized footage instead. There is little, if any film that looks original to me. Given that there is a surprising amount of the genuine footage available, I've lost interest in this sort of thing. Also, the narration, while not bad, isn't especially interesting either. I'd recommend: "World War II, the Lost color Archive", "World War II, the British Story", "World WAr II in Color", "Perilous Fight", or "D-Day in Color" over this. They have the real thing.

Review: I thought this series was a great value and a great history lesson on the greatest battles of World War II.
