Project XX Life in the Thirties.......2007-06-19

This is an excellent production and shows the real facts about the depression of the 1930's. Like all the Project XX Specials it shows situations as they were.

A beautiful look back at a fateful decade........2005-08-29

This was originally a chapter in the excellent Project Twenty series on television 45 years ago. It is a magnificent look at a decade that included the depression, the Roosevelt years, the labor strife, and the gathering storm clouds in Europe. Beautifully narrated by the the most mellifluous voice of Alexander Scourby. The last five minutes while Scourby narrates the end of an era over images of the 1939 New York World's Fair and the music of the "September Song" is overwhelming (especially for anyone over 70). There isn't any television like this nowadays. A treasure.
