Victory at Sea

$15.00

Victory at Sea, a 26-episode DVD series on World War II, represented one of the most ambitious documentary undertakings of early network television. Produced by Henry Salomon, the series premiered in October 1952, and subsequent episodes played each week through May 1953. Every half-hour black and white installment dealt with some aspect of World War II naval warfare and highlighted each of the sea war's major campaigns. The drama was enhanced by the program's sententious voice-over narration of Leonard Graves plus the stirring musical score by Richard Rogers. Never has a film captured the essence and the agony of a human struggle so great as this timeless epic. Viewed on five continents, "Victory At Sea" has won 12 major awards including Emmy, Sylvania, and Peabody Awards. The bulk of live-action archives of both Allied and Axis government vaults. The stirring saga of the American and Allied naval operations during World War II is a visual panorama.
