Title: Blu-ray butchery
Review: I have to join those you decry the fact that they have chopped the original 4x3 image ratio in order to make the image fit on widescreen televisions without black bars. This is particularly egregious when they show the original newsreel footage which cuts out vital information and has to resort to pan and scan techniques in order to convey some of the images.On top of that, this edition leaves out the producers introduction to each episode which conveyed important and fascinating information as to how each episode was made and the challenges facing the filmmakers.A very shoddy presentation of a documentary masterpiece.
