Victory At Sea DVD Set

Arguably the most influential documentary in television history, VICTORY AT SEA, in the words of Harper's Weekly, "created a new art form." The 26 half-hour episodes were culled from over 13, 000 hours of footage shot by the U.S., British, German and Japanese navies during World War II. Narrated by Leonard Graves and set to a score by Richard Rodgers, the program offered a remarkable look at the realities of naval warfare and the extraordinary challenges faced by the Allies.From U-boat "Wolfpacks" to the... epic battles at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, every major naval engagement of World War II is captured in some of the most riveting combat footage ever shot. Now, the complete landmark series is available on DVD for the first time. And, to celebrate this digitally restored and remastered 50th anniversary release, television legend Peter Graves (Mission: Impossible) enriches the viewing experience by framing each classic episode of this Emmy and Peabody award-winning series against the World War II cultural and political landscape. DVD Features: A four disc set; Episode Introductions by Peter Graves; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection. Running time: 11h 30m + extras
