Critic Reviews

Dorothy Rabinowitz

Dec 9, 2016

A Smithsonian Channel documentary sizzling with breaking news broadcasts, pictures and commentaries seldom if ever included in previous documentaries. The result is quite simply spine-tingling, and that tingling grows steadily stronger. Read full review

The program consists of just clips and still images with an occasional caption. No academics in office-chair interviews interpret things for you. No survivors grow weepy while dredging up their decades-old memories. No narration intrudes. The idea is to come closer to putting you in the historical moment, to give you a sense of what people experienced and felt at the time. It works quite well for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

What The Lost Tapes adds, beyond all the terrifying footage, is a plethora of perspectives and insights. Read full review
