    This "movie" (if it can be called that) is what you would find on the BBC at 3 am on a Sunday. From the repetitious reuse of the same still photographs used as a backdrop to the monotone of the narrator to the stereotypical bad teeth displayed by the British experts providing color, there is actually about five minutes of worthwhile information contained here. I guess I'm spoiled by NOVA, National Geographic and the History Channel as I would expect the footage in this photoplay wouldn't even be found on the cutting room floor of the "big 3".

    Reasonably accurate on information, history, etc - but the computerized graphics were pathetic, lacked detail, often incorrect in scale, proportions.
