I can't say I was "dismayed," but I could have done with more straight on looks at the photos, and less Ken Burnsing of everything. But the reality is that most historical documentaries today are Ken Burns rip-offs - actors providing voices of historical figures, still photos turned into moving images, the Burnsian use of music.

Generally enjoyable viewingŠ however, I was rather dismayed by the panning and zooming over the photographs with very little opportunity to ³see² the frame as photographed and/or printed. Others have this feeling?
