Review Quotes: Once more, Walter Metz has provided a careful, intellectually satisfying take on a significant piece of artistic expression. This work is one of the most interesting of the TV Milestones series: a quotidian object of analysis, turned to the light in the right kind of way, reveals itself to be full of splendor."--Robert Burgoyne "professor and chair of film studies at the University of St. Andrews "
