Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 09/23/2005 Director: Ken Burns Average Rating:
 Rating: - Burns' first filmKen Burns made this film from David McCullogh's brilliant book on the difficulties Washington Roebling had building the Brooklyn Bridge. Ken Burns mines the archives to document the construction, but then adds a Part Two that chronicles the reaction of our culture to the fact of the bridge: high art (paintings, poems), popular culture (movies and songs, including Frank Sinatra's "good ol' Brooklyn bridge")and even ads for, among others, Singer sewing machines.

Read More Rating: - Good. Dated, but good.While Ken Burns was getting his feet wet in the documentary film industry, he created this hour-long tidbit on the BROOKLYN BRIDGE. Relying on David McCullough's wonderful book, "THE GREAT BRIDGE" (see my review), Burns deftly takes the viewer down the long arduous road the builders and engineers had to take--over fourteen years--to get the bridge off the drawing board and into the East River. The names of the protagonists and antagonist who either supported or stole from the coffers of the ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
