Product Description

The 1904 Worlds Fair was intended to be the biggest and best Worlds Fair ever. The first Olympics on American soil where competitors were openly administered drugs and marathon runners were chased off course by dogs. The first Ferris Wheel, so large that a wedding was held on horseback in one of its cars. This engaging movie presents the fair as never before through these stories and many more.

Bringing the World's Greatest Fair to Life from 1904

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

What a fascinating visual story accompanied by period music to bring to life the 1904 St Louis Word's Fair at the beginning of a new century! Growing up in the 1950s, I heard my grandmother tell about the trip she and her sisters made with their father on the train from Indiana to visit the 1904 Fair in St Louis. It made quite an impression on them that was lifelong. I myself had worked on the Washington University campus during the 1980s but little was left of the Fair to appreciate then. The DVD program does a wonderful job of bringing to life the 1904 Fair in the context of earlier Fairs at the end of the 19th Century and how it was a great influence to developments in the new 20th Century. I can now appreciate how the huge St Louis "Ivory City" of 1904 outdid Chicago's gleaming "White City" of 1893 (which I had previously thought was the greatest). I can also now appreciate how much of 20th and 21st Century American culture was popularized at St Louis but not invented there (such as the ice cream cone, hot dog, iced tea, Dr Pepper, etc.). To understand where we are going in the future, we need to understand where we came from in the past. This DVD truly shows a juncture of technology, art, music, entertainment, and a never attempted before mix of world cultures that changed the world. forever.

Excellent coverage of Racism at the Faire

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

One of the most important messages is tucked too deeply into the documentary at aroudn 1 hr 15 mins. It is about racism and the juxtaposition of people of other lands as a kind of evidence of evolution showcasing these "savages and primitives" as lesser forms of man against the more intelligent and refined white race. It is fascinating how evolution was used as a logical and rational justification for the maltreatment of other races by the white populace at that time.

I am from Missouri and a huge history buff and have a fascination with the 1904 World's Fair. I've watched this documentary many times, and am pleased to now own a copy.

The Wonders of the Worlds Fair

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2009

Verified Purchase

This was a good video, and I recommend it to anyone interested in the Worlds Fairs, or anyone who wants to discover the basis for Disney and the great theme parks of today. Mind boggling stuff, very cool. I take away a few stars only because, like so many of the documentary / educational videos today, the people who made this thought they had to have conflict and tragedy and suspense woven in to make it interesting. This is the kind of thing the History Channel loves. And now you even see it on PBS and Discovery too. The train wreck, the minorities, the cannibals ... sure it was part of the story, but why focus so much attention on it? There is no need, the other material stands on its own. But this typifies the style of video we see now. I would prefer a return to more straight ahead reporting, and leave the tear jerking stuff for the soap operas. Nevertheless, this is a great video, and highly recommended.

I'm not going to tell you that this is a wonderful production - Since I'm one of the directors! But I DO want you to know that you can read a detailed description of this documentary (along with what the critics have said about it) at [...] You can also find reviews from folks who saw the film in theaters at [...]

I think you'll enjoy this compelling documentary. Everyone who worked on it during the year and a half we were in production (well over 150 people) wanted to create THE documentary about this important event for decades to come.

Amazing recollection of a world class event unlike any other. I watched this and talked about it for days before watching it all over again. I feel so much nostalgia for a time of so much curiosity and renaissance. This documentary was truly inspiring and we'll put together.

Wow!

Loved this documentary and learned so much. I had to watch it twice to absorb it all. Well produced with so many old photos and interspersed with contemporary commentary about various aspects of the Fair, all organized into categories which made it easy to follow. This is a wondeRful resource for study of the Fair as the important cultural event that it was. I have loaned it out to many friends who have enjoyed it equally as well!
