Rating: - fantastic history
I saw this on PBS several years ago. It is the incredible story of how the subway system was built in just a few years. It shows how our society has drifted backwards from the "can do" attitude of the early part of this century.
Today this would take 20 years of BS, followed by 20 years of building. FIVE STARS
Rating: - This Is Just As Advertised
I don't know what these other two reviewers were expecting but this is exactly what it says it is, the story of the building of the New York Subway. No it's not Ric Burns New York Documentary...why you thought it was is beyond me...this is an excellent documentary of the early years of the Subway system.
Rating: - NOT AS DESCRIBED
This is not a 14 hour documentary about New York City, instead it is a 56 minute long documentary about how the old Electric Subway in NYC was built in 1900, as seen on public television and "American Experience".
