Re: What Documentaries Influenced You Most and Why?
by Ron Lindeboom on Apr 27, 2008 at 3:34:30 pm

I hate to correct such an esteemed and respected friend but it was Leonard Graves who narrated Victory At Sea.

But don't feel bad, David, I told a friend the other day that I thought that Vaughn Williams did the music -- I was sure I was right -- and when I went to the boxed set and looked it up later, it was Richard Rogers of Rogers & Hammerstein fame.

The producer was Henry Salomon and he wrote it with Richard Hanser. The director was M. Clay Adams and the series won more awards than any other documentary run on a major network. They won 13 awards that include the Emmy, the Peabody, the Navy's Distinguished Services Award and many others.

What a piece of work. One that would have been made even better and brighter had Alexander Scourby narrated it. Like you, I love his voice. What an incredible talent he was. He could be reading the phone book and you would want to sit and listen.
