Disappointing, 5 April 2009
4/10
Author: Ron Kerrigan (mvg@whidbey.com) from Whidbey Island, Washington

Granted, it's hard to put together a really satisfying documentary on any aspect of Hollywood history -- the viewer is bound to be disappointed that his or her favorites were omitted, or, worse, disparaged. I found most of the commentary uninteresting (except for some of Corman's comments) and frustrated that so few films were featured -- obviously they did not represent the entire output of the decade 1950 to 1959. This show concentrated on a few genre movies, and time was wasted having each interviewee discuss each picture. TCM has the ability to put together a really comprehensive overview with the talent they have at their command. This wasn't it.
