Title: How disappointing!
Product review: It tries to cover as many events as possible but does neither justice. I also feel that it was done in such a manner as trying to be as 'politically correct' as possible as they seem to go out of their way to minimize the Americans presence in the games. They also barely mentioned any controversies.I bought it hoping that it would cover the games from a historic perspective and give the viewer a feeling of being there. It did not mention the venues in any great detail, the city or state, or the hard work of the locals. It did not mention the commradery of the competitors that comes along every few years. It did not capalize on the thousands of feet of footage available and barely even touched on the limits of the DVD format. They told the story - but only at an arms length. Even interviews with were in the 'bonus' section of the DVD.What a waste! I'll try the figure skating tape (which is what I'm interested in). But on VHS? Give me a break!
