Title: Hasn't Lost Any Of It's Power..
Review: The best documentary series EVER. I originally saw this as a kid in the UK, when it was first screened in the mid-70's on ITV on Sunday afternoons. Those unforgettable B+W images of a time only 30 years gone made a massive impact on me back then.So naturally I wondered if re-watching this series again now might show it all to be badly dated in the post-MTV age. I couldn't have been more wrong. Just seeing the combination of those haunting opening credits along with Olivier's haunting human narration and Carl Davis's moving score all over again felt like a punch in the stomach. In these dark violent times, this wonderful humanitarian series chronicling possibly the only worthy war in mankind's history hasn't dated a bit. Indispensable stuff.
