Title: Beware of this!
Review: This is an older show. Made in 1990. I wanted to see the old Coney my dad told me about. I only experienced the 60's at Coney Island! This is a very sad over blown doc. Sorry, but there is NO joy in this piece. Coney was a place of joy for millions of people! This doc shows non of that. The heavy hands who made it tried too hard. There are some good film pieces that show much of the parks that existed, but there is so little joy and happiness, and there are long voice over quotes from famous writers and such that linger on sad pictures with even sadder music!BEWARE>>>>> there is SEVERE animal cruelty shown in this!!!! This is a scene where they show the electrocution of an elephant! It is totally unnecessary and cruel to show. So disappointing they felt this was needed. There should be a warning on this! Do not let a child watch. It is so disturbing.What a sad piece of film making.
