World War One (1964)
Soundtrack
One of the items that placed "World War One" far and above other TV documentaries was the soundtrack composed by Morton Gould. I had already enjoyed his music, most notably his American Salute and the Pam American Suite, so I pleased with this music. Each episode opened with the introduction which to me was equal in dramatic quality to the "Song of the High Seas" from "Victory At Sea" composed by Richard Rodgers who also composed the soundtrack for "Winston Churchill: the Valiant Years". The rest of the music for the series was both dramatic, poignant, and simple. RCA records released a soundtrack album that is no longer available. If anyone has that soundtrack album please contact me.
The Legend of Zorro (2005)
What's a little thing like history to get in the way...
Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong but:
(1) If the action was set in 1850 where did the Confederate States come in? I thought the Confederate States existed from 1861 to 1865.
(2) At the end of the movie (CA becomes a state) wasn't that Abe Lincoln (minus the beard)? I thought he was a relatively unknown log-splitter from IL when this film was supposed to take place.
(3) Why was the chief bad guy (the one with the Cross stamped on his face) remarkably like a fundamentalist Christian? I guess the Christians were troublemakers even then. And they also made him a Southerner.
(4) Where did that train come from? I didn't think there were any transcontinental railroads at that time either.
These were just some of the questions I had that spoiled my enjoyment of the movie.
