4.0 out of 5 stars Great if you teach US History
Best overall look at the 1920's for students and the people interested in the 20's. Music is right with the times and the film is vintage. Fred Allen is the the host and his old radio voice is right out of the Jazz Age!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware
I was duped into thinking this was a music performance video. It's nothing but a documentary about the '20s. As a documentary, it's great, but definately not for a music buff (musician), like me, who collects music videos.

5.0 out of 5 stars NBC's Project Twenty series, December 2, 2005
By 
This review is from: Project Twenty: The Jazz Age (DVD)
What a masterpiece! I remember watching this program when I was a pre-teen in the mid-fifties. The film footage, Fred Allen's narration, and Robert Russell Bennett's musical accompaniment are nothing short of captivating. A must see for students of that era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oustanding for teaching Gatsby, January 27, 2007
This review is from: Project Twenty: The Jazz Age (DVD)
As an English teacher trying to illustrate the historical context of Gatsby, this documentary is excellent. Fred Allen's tongue-in-cheek narration may be difficult for some students, but the issues relevant to the book are obvious and treated appropriately. It is also a fast and quick screening in classes--the first few chapters are all that are needed, up to when the documentary shifts to the expatriates abroad in Paris.
