Editorial Reviews

In only 42 months, engineers, politicians, architects, foundation workers and iron workers were able to construct the "bridge that couldn't be built" across the straits of Machinac, spanning 5 miles of some of the most treacherous waters in the world. Filmaker Mark Howell takes you back to the 1950's and presents in living color the story of how the Mackinac Bridge became a reality, and one of Michigan's greatest icons. This documentary includes extremely rare archival 16 mm color footage and audio recordings of Dr. Steinman (Designer of the Mackinac Bridge) and other key individuals who played important roles in the building of the bridge. The program is both fun and educational for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource, and entertaining, June 1, 2009

This review is from: Building the Mighty Mac (Mackinac Bridge Michigan Documentary) (VHS Tape)
The DVD version of this film is a great piece or work, well worth watching. Mr. Howell took some great archival footage and spun it together into a very enlightening narrative. The addition of the two complete remastered 1950s documentaries was awesome, and really took me back in time. Just buy this one if you love the bridge and the lore of northern Michigan, you won't be disappointed. And the "Before the Bridge" DVD about the straits carferries is a winner too.
