Hemo the Magnificent / Unchained Goddess

Customer Reviews:

Science TV Show From the 50's.......2007-08-28

The DVD brought back memories of seeing this in 1957 and 1958!

It's very dated in places, but the comment that we may be starting global warming
was prescient! This was fifty years ago, remember!

BEAUTIFUL picture quality!.......2007-03-16

The prints contained in these new DVDS are tremendous! Beautiful quality! Best I've seen by far! This version of HEMO also contains several moments I've never seen before, featuring Sterling Holloway making humorous quips that were evidently intended as lead-ins to TV commercial breaks.

I do wish, however, that the DVD had some bonus materials. There's just nothing there except the films, beautiful as they are. I'd really like to know more about the history and production of these films.

The DVD menu and package production are kind of unprofessional, but I won't let that detract from the beauty of the great film transfer!

Hemo - not that magnificant.......2007-03-09

A brief comment.......2007-02-16

I saw The Unchained Goddess in my 8th grade science class in 1965 and still have fond memories of the spectacular time-lapse photography of the earth's weather depicted in the film. The film was made by none other than Frank Capra, most famous for his classic, It's a Wonderful Life, based on the short story by Phillip van Doren Stern. Our class, normally a bored bunch of 13-year olds taking a required science class, seemed transfixed by the film, which had been made in 1958. Even today I recall it was one of the most beautifully made, dramatic, and effective educational films I encountered during my checkered schoolboy years.
