CONSIDERED THE MOST INFLUENTIAL DOCUMENTARY IN TELEVISION HISTORY.
VICTORY AT SEA, in the words of Harper's Weekly , "created a new art form."
The 26 episodes were culled from over 13,000 hours of footage shot by the U.S.,
British, German and Japanese navies during World War II. Narrated by Leonard
Graves and set to a score by Richard Rodgers, this program offered a remarkable
look at the realities of naval warfare and the extroadinary challenges faced by
the Allies. From U-boat "wolf packs" to the epic battles at Iwo Jima and Okinawa,
every major naval engagement of World War II is captured in some of the most
riveting combat footage ever shot.
