Video Librarian...
Actor Judd Hirsch narrates this engaging homage to planner Robert Moses' almost-failed dream. Combining b/w and color archive footage shot at the fair, along with contemporary interviews with adults who recall their childhood adventures at the fair, this nostalgic blast from the past is sure to trigger fond memories in viewers... sure to be popular. Recommended. - *** Stars
Booklist...
"From Michelangelo's Pieta, which was on loan from the Vatican, to kitschy but dazzling Disney exhibits, the ample archival footage provides a tour, while modern commentators interpret the meaning of this so-called 'anachronism.' A fascinating piece of recent history."
