It's difficult for me to pinpoint exactly what I like about this documentary. Mostly, I'd say it was the mood, the way it took me back to a time I did not know, but now have a sense of what it might have been like.
I first watched/ listened to this while packing boxes for a move. I really only intended it to be background noise while I worked, but instead I found myself coming back to it, slowing my packing progress.
I now own the DVD so I can watch it at my leisure. I ... Read More

this video gives great information and has great photos with in the movie. it is a little long and doesnt focus much information on the midway fare grounds. overall this is a great documentary.

"EXPO" is extremely disappointing. If authentic materials were so lacking, the feature should have been shorter--certainly the foolish modern footage of fish, belly-dancing, and beer-drinking should have been omitted. After reading "Devil in the White City," I thought this DVD would show the "city" Erik Larson writes about so vividly; but "EXPO--Magic of the White City" is a dull and anemic commentary.

I received this DVD as a gift last year and have since recommended it to every Chicagoan I know.
Despite having lived in Chicago some years ago, my knowledge of the World's Fair of 1893 was quite limited. I had seen the occassional photo of "Big Mary" and Court of Honor, but was not familiar with the scale and history of the Exposition.
I was advised that my whole family would enjoy this DVD, but my 8- and 11-year olds weren't interested. That is, they weren't until they ... Read More
