Actually no stars but Amazon won't allow a no star rating.
All of the material contained on this DVD is available from the web as free downloads, from the Internet Movie Archives Prelinger Collection.
As another reviewer stated, the "To The Fair" film was originally in color and has been availble on VHS in that form.
As a person who collects old radio shows and makes them available for free and has had his work taken from the web only to be repackaged and sold, I get really bugged when I see items like this for sale and I feel sorry for the people who pay good money for them when they could have gotten the same material for free if they had only done a web search to find it.
If you're looking for old movie footage or old radio shows, do a web search first and scroll down past the people who are selling this kind of material and look for the websites of the people who probably were the ones who made it available in the first place, often for no personal gain. If you were ready to pay for this kind of stuff, send these kind people a donation instead so they can continue their good work, don't give your money to people who haven't lifted a finger to earn it.

I would strongly suggest NOT buying this product! Despite its relatively inexpensive price, it is definitely NOT worth the money, and the DVD is of VERY POOR quality! Many of the films "jump-around" as if they were actually being viewed with a Super-8 on a movie screen. The "From the Air" shots have no music, which would suggest that they actually are indeed somebody's home movies! The "To the Fair" segment is very much a disappointment, it is in B&W! I have owned for many years a VHS copy taped directly off an original film that is indeed in color! The "World's Fair Report" abruptly terminates half-way through the feature! The packaging is a very austere plastic DVD "clamshell", and there is no notation on it whatsoever! The United States Steel Unisphere and the Frigidaire segments are both in color, and both appear complete. These would certainly be the highlights amongst the numerous other disappointments.
Let's hope that somebody in the future can do justice to these films and make a really nice DVD out of them. I would have gladly paid a little more for a much better quality DVD. Peace Through Understanding...
