| Summary |
"Today we are still feeling the effects of the Great Depression and Prohibition. The 30s, with its gangsters and work projects, breadlines and escapist pursuits (superhero comics, color movies, thoroughbred racing) was a formative period for our country. With mounting global tensions and domestic despair, the roar of the 20s faded quickly. This sweeping DVD collection remembers the highs - Seabiscuit, the Empire State Building - and the lows: Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone and the Great Depression."--History Channel website. |
