In Reply to: "The World at War:" a brilliant historical documentary that set an impossibly high standard. posted by tinear on January 27, 2011 at 17:16:44:
In most such documentaries the old farts speaking from their armchairs don't add much to the story's dry factual side, but perhaps make it more palatable to those of us more interested in the glossy coffee table books.
Me, I will take the dry documentary style any day.
