This has almost nothing to do with the making of Westworld. There are two sections (which use the same footage) covering robots and robots in movies and a list of Yul Brunner's films. The quality of the film is horrible and the color so washed out as to make it almost colorless.

The first half is about Yul Brunner films. The second half is about movies with robots. The only thing that does connect these two separate short documentaries are that of the actor Yul Brunner himself is involved with both through Westworld.

This is really nothing more interesting than something you'd probably see on PBS sometime around three in the morning. I can't believe that this is actually a DVD for sale to the public. I'd find only a collection of Palmolive or Charmin bathroom tissue commercials more interesting to own as a DVD than this bore of a documentary.

I love the movie "Westworld" and most all the films of Michael Crichton (except Jurassic Park, I don't know why I can't get into that film), but this documentary (and how it was titled) really made me feel deceived by my remotely candid expectation. I want my 48 wasted minutes back.

I was expecting more of a how its made rather than odds and ends of this and that.

As a fan of the Westworld movie I eagerly bought this, only to find that it barely has anythind to do with it. There is a look at Yul Bryner's film career which was interesting but mostly irrelevant to the title. There are two sections (which use the same footage) covering robots and robots in movies. The actual part covering the movie was so short that it passed in the blink of an eye. I really felt like I had picked something up from a market stall that had been knocked together in someone's back bedroom. I wouldn't touch this with a bargepole!

I loved this DVD! I mean, I love the movie 'Westworld' but this DVD really captured the essence of what it must have been like to make this movie.

And what's more, I was shocked to see the host of this program, Sean McLaughlin, so handsome in a tux, and with both of his arms still intact! I remember McLaughlin from his Vietnam movies and his cameos on A-Team, but when I saw him pawning off this delicious slice of tripe to the fans, I knew I must have died and gone to heaven. Forever yours Sean McLaughlin, forever yours. big kisses
