5.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful !,
By A.G. Wallingford (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rich in America: 150 Years of Town & Country Magazine [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Covering everything from calling cards to aspic paddles, this video provides a rare glimpse into a world of wealth and privledge that most people only dream of. Rare black-and-white photographs and words from actual private diaries add to the glamour. Stroll along Fifth Avenue in New York City or Bellvue Avenue in Newport, view the spectacular mansions and play-palaces of America's upper echelon. I strongly reccomend this video to anyone interested in history or humor.

A superior exploration of the lives of the robber barons,
By Jennifer J. (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rich in America: 150 Years of Town & Country Magazine [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video was terrific. It used excellent narration, film footage, and still photographs to document the bizarre excess of the lives of the robber barons and other captains of industry at the turn of the century. It provides a terrific introduction for people studying the American literary movements of Realism and Naturalism (from the turn of the century) and it's an incredible lead-in to the study of The Great Gatsby. I highly recommend it.
